A new opera by Tang Kangnian was given a Vancouver premiere Friday night at the Vancouver Playhouse. "Thunderstorm" was a fascinating proposition which sounded a clarion note of diversity in our local opera milieu. Tang worked for many years with the Shanghai Opera before moving to Vancouver in 1990.
