Lady White is a thousand-year-old snake who, through centuries of meditation and self-discipline, has managed to attain human form.

From one of the most popular of Chinese operas comes this tale of love and courage in the face of blind intolerance. Accompanied by illustrations depicting traditional costumes and staging, this retelling brings to life a timeless legend and a classic art form.
