The event set to mobilize the greatest number of performers is a version of Puccini's(普契尼)monumental Tosca(托斯卡). The opera will feature stage design, costumes, and music tailored specifically for the festival. In addition, Noh theater master Kurouemon Katayama's(山九郎右卫门)production of Maso(妈祖) interprets deeply-rooted local beliefs in Taiwan, and is sure to attract attention from Noh enthusiasts.
