A Cross-Boundary Fusion Musical
This afternoon, I had the privilege of attending a captivating performance by the Shanghai Huai Opera Troupe, a traditional Chinese theater group.
The show is called "See You in Letters" (见字如面). It tells a very touching love story from nearly 80 years ago. Back in 1940, a young man who had just returned from studying abroad fell in love with a famous local opera singer. Unfortunately, they were separated by war and time. Many years later, the man's grandson finds his grandfather's old, returned, and unsent letters. He brings a guitar to the stage and plays the music to tell this sad but beautiful story.
What makes this show so special is that it mixes the traditional vocal melodies of Peking, Kun, and Huai operas with Western classical guitar and modern multimedia.
The performance was held at the Pudong Cultural Center. Although it was a humble venue, the intimate atmosphere made the experience absolutely wonderful and deeply emotional!
Plus, taking photos and videos was allowed during the show. I captured a few, but haven't sorted them out yet. Maybe I can show you another day.

"the music" would be some already introduced music, but since this is the first time you mention it, it's better to omit the "the"

"Multimedia" is a very 90s term, and so sounds a little dated. There's probably a better term but I'm not fully sure what you're trying to get across without having seen the show.

Very well written. Glad you enjoyed the show.

Thank you so much!
Which one could be the better term? Video Scenography, or Cross-media?
Have a nice day!

Western classical guitar usually does not have a vocal accompaniment. Is this what you mean?
Here’s a typical example:

“Sorted them out” makes it sound like they are problematic in some way and need to be resolved. Maybe you mean you haven’t “sorted through them” yet?
Maybe I can show you another day.

He didn't sing while he played, but he talked.
And thanks again!
Have a nice day!

Ok, then I would suggest, “He plays a guitar while telling this sad but beautiful story.”
