After being performed in San Francisco ,US ,the performance came to Beijing,Changsha and Wuhan. Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures , including the director and playwrights（剧作家）.

The book , which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family ,has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters . But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang ,a Chinese - American , focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking story that everyone would understand . The art director Timmy Yip , from Hong Kong, China,tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings.He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up,there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences .
