''A Night at the Chinese Opera'' is an opera in three acts by Judith Weir, who also wrote the libretto. Aside from an earlier opera for children, this was Weir's first full-scale opera, written on commission from the BBC for performance by Kent Opera. Weir incorporated an early Chinese play of the Yuan dynasty, ''The Orphan of Zhao'', as the centrepiece of Act 2 of her opera.〔Judith Weir, "A Note on a Chinese Opera". ''The Musical Times'', 128(1733), 373-375 (1987).〕〔David Wright , "Weir to Now?". ''The Musical Times'', 134(1806), 432-437 (1993).〕 The work received its premiere on 8 July 1987 at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, England.〔Loveland, Kenneth, "Reports: Cheltenham" (September 1987). ''The Musical Times'', 128 (1735): pp. 507-509.〕 The Opera magazine critic noted that "few new operas have recently made so diverting a first impression as ''A Night at the Chinese Opera'', partly on its intrinsic musico-drmatic merits, partly through the style of production".〔 The outer acts are fully scored for the chamber orchestra in 'closed-forms' such as area, sextet, seven-part part motet but the Yuan play is mostly scored for flute, lower strings and percussion.〔 == Roles ==
