The Golden Mask Dynasty at the OCT Theater in Beijing Happy Valley is an original and large-scale Chinese musical. The show tells a story of war, royal banquets, and romance in a mythical age in China. The play has 20 different dance scenes, representing a soul-stirring and romantic love and harmonious legend!

The Golden Mask Dynasty was sponsored by Overseas Chinese Town which invested 200 million yuan into building the Beijing OCT Theater for the play. The play has eight chapters and includes more than 200 actors from China and abroad. Produced by Chinese playwrights, directors and designers, the play features Chinese dances, acrobatics, costumes, and lighting and acoustics.

The Golden Mask Dynasty is a Chinese tale and an ancient romantic legend. The beautiful Golden Mask Queen led her army to defeat the invading Blue Mask, and also made the acquaintance of him. The post-war Golden Mask Dynasty returned to its leisurely pastoral life. To ask for a blessing for the Golden Mask Dynasty, the Queen decided to forge a “mysterious tree”. When the tree grew up, the Queen held a grand celebration and released the Blue soldiers. The Blue Mask King was deeply moved by the Queen’s tolerance, the same to the Queen by his braveness.

Monstrous floods stroke the kingdom and left it at risk. To save the people, the Queen, under the guidance of the mysterious tree, sacrificed herself. The Golden Mask Queen had to say farewell to the Blue Mask King. The flood gradually subsided, and the people were rescued. The Blue Mask King and the people had endless love for the Queen, and the Queen turned into a golden sunbird flying in the sky above her hometown, blessing the long-lasting well-being of the dynasty.
