“5, 4, 3, 2, 1…!” Moonlight rises. The legend begins!

LEGENDS: Chang’e Flies to the Moon brings the timeless moon legend to life through music, dance, martial arts, aerial performance, and animation. 

Bring your family and witness the myth take flight at Segerstrom Hall on May 30 at 7 p.m.

Music Tells · Myth Wakes

South Coast Chinese Orchestra Conductor and Composer Bin He says the music in Chang’e Flies to the Moon is not background—it is the soul driving the story and emotion.

From Hou Yi’s thunderous battle to Chang’e’s tender longing, the original score carries all six chapters, weaving dance, aerial performance, and light into one rhythm.

Audiences hear more than music—they hear an ancient myth awaken.

Moon Unites · Hearts Connect

Artistic Director Jiangli Yu says Chang’e Flies to the Moon is more than a love story—it is about sacrifice, cherishing one another, and reunion. 

In a divided world, the production brings Chinese mythology to life, connecting hearts and cultures under one shared moon.
