Zheng, 48, will present local fans her new interpretation of classic episodes from "The Story of the Western Wing" and "King of Beidi," with which she won the 26th Plum Blossom Prize — the highest theatrical award in China — last year.
She will also cooperate with veteran performer Wang Zhiping on an excerpt of "Legend of Chunxiang."
"The concert will be a big challenge to my voice and physical stamina," Zheng says, adding that she will present at least two famous Yueju Opera crying scenes.
As a successor of the Xu singing school of Yueju Opera, Zheng is famous for her magnificent and unrestrained singing, representing a soulful spirit.
Yueju Opera, which originated in Zhejiang Province, is a gentle, melodic and feminine opera that tells mostly romantic stories.
