Sacrifice

An extraordinary story based on real events - over 1200 years ago - China's greatest beauty, Lady Yang GuiFei, is exiled after confronting her adulterous husband - the Emperor's son (the Prince of Shou). Fate draws the Emperor Tang Xuanzong to visit Lady Yang, where he is captivated by her dancing (the 'Dance of Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress') and besotted with her beauty. He installs her into his colorful court, neglecting crucial affairs of state and allowing jealousy and conspiracy to thrive. As Lady Yang begins to return his love, the distracted Emperor awards key positions to An Lushan, a barbarian soldier. When the treacherous An then leads a rebellion against the dynasty, the Emperor and Lady Yang are forced to flee. Lady Yang is blamed for the rebellion by the imperial guards who demand her execution. To save the Emperor she loves, and the Tang Dynasty, Lady Yang makes the ultimate SACRIFICE.
