The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with the history of over 2500 years, is a man-made miracle on par with the Great Wall. Composed by YIN Qing, The Ballad of Canal is the first national opera presented by NCPA, in the style of folk singing, and is presented here for the very first time on US radio. The opera celebrates the ups and downs of life on the canal, full of joy and sorrow, life and death, righteousness and evil—all sung in a virtuosic and stunning folk style.
