The Palace of Eternal Youth, a classic Kun Opera about the epic romance between Tang Emperor Minghuang and Lady Yang, featured theater talents from Taiwan and China. Upon its debut at the Novel Hall, Taiwan, in February 2005, the original cast performed the complete work at the Poly theatre, Beijing, for three days from December 11. The opera, with costume designed by Oscar winner, Tim Yip, brought a revival of the art form back to the theater world.
