The Mid-Nightmare

夜半歌声 上集

Also known as 夜半歌聲, Mid-nightmare, Melody at Midnight, Ye ban ge sheng - Shang ji

Essentially an adaptation of Gaston Leroux's classic The Phantom of the Opera, Mid-Nightmare is set in a Huangmei diao teahouse theatre, which an embittered and horribly disfigured ex-performer ‘haunts', looking to extract revenge on his enemies and falling in love with a talented and beautiful, but ultimately unattainable, ingénue.
