I'm not familiarwith this particular opera.
:06:54
It's a mask opera about Lord Guan.
:06:56
Oh...I see...the Lord Guan...
:06:58
from the story...
:07:00
" ""The Romance of the Three Kingdoms""?"
:07:02
He actually knows...
:07:03
who Lord Guan is.
:07:05
Riding Alone forThousands of Miles...
:07:06
is the greatest of all mask operas.
:07:09
I'm the greatest singer of it.
:07:21
"Then, this is a rare chance."
:07:23
Can't you sing a little for me now?
