In 2019, soprano LIN Ling-hui's hit performance in Puccini's Tosca fleshed the heroine out and impressed the stage director LIN Hwai-min. June 2020 will see the two join hands again, in collaboration with Europe-based Korean tenor CHOI Seung-jin, interpret the famous arias and love duets from five Puccini’s opera.

To depict love and hatred in the operas, LIN Hwai-min ingeniously portrays the characters based on his unique interpretation of the libretto, with the support of music, singings, body gestures and stage settings.

With the aim of making the arias approachable, CHIAO Yuan-pu, music critic and the Best Host of the Golden Bell Awards, is invited to give a plot preview and guide the performance appreciation.
