YANYUE · Immersive Imperial Banquet | Shanghai First Store

Shanghai-style delicacies invite guests from all directions; ancient and modern musical movements illuminate the elegance of the sea. Using Shanghai's unique "rivers, lakes, and sea" as its lifeline, the performance interprets the epic life story of this city. The performance takes a single vein of the Shen River as its spiritual main line. Through the water conservancy feat of "Chunshen Harnesses the Waters," it reveals the historical origin of the name "Shencheng." From this, civilization evolves layer by layer: the grand port atmosphere connected to the "Maritime Silk Road," where the Huangpu River welcomes the sails of the world, achieves the open-mindedness of a great eastern port; further integrated into the delicacy of "Kunqu Opera's elegant charm" and the refinement of "Song-style aesthetics," it tempers the exquisite and introverted Shanghai-style cultural foundation amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Blossoming in a breathtaking leap from "Jiangnan charm" to "modern Shanghai night," the bells and neon lights of the Bund play a brilliant movement that blends the ancient and the modern, leading the times.
