Wondering the best time to visit Edinburgh? Absolutely August!
Every August, Edinburgh hosts a three-week art festival—the Edinburgh International Festival Established in 1947, it’s one of the world’s oldest and largest international art festivals. During this time, Edinburgh becomes the “Capital of Art Festivals”. This year, its theme is “The Truth We Seek”, and on March 13th, the full list of 133 performances from August 1st to 24th was announced (宣布), including 7 world premieres (全球首演) by world-famous theaters.
Among these performances, the opera “Shan Hai Jing (山海经)” is a must-see. It was inspired by ancient Chinese myths like “Pangu Creating the World (盘古开天地)” and “Kuafu Chasing the Sun (夸父追日)”. Huang Ruo, a rising star in the world of opera, wrote the music. In 2022 when Shan Hai Jing made its premiere, it made a splash in the opera world.
What is really special is that the opera is directed (导演) by British puppet designer and puppeteer (木偶戏演员) Basil Twist. The opera uses puppets to vividly tell the stories of Pangu, Kuafu, Jingwei, and Houyi. It is a creative mixture of music and puppetry, exploring the complex relationship between humans and nature. Most of the music consists of percussion (打击乐) and vocals, with lyrics in Mandarin (普通话). It will be performed from August 14th to 16th.
In short, August in Edinburgh is full of cultural surprises, making it the best time to visit.
40. The Edinburgh International Festival lasts for three weeks, doesn’t it?
