Beijing Opera

Finally... I had a chance to see some extracts from the most famouse Beijing operas. It was a really thrilling performance.

Wiki says:

"Beijing opera or Peking opera (simplified Chinese: 京剧; traditional Chinese: 京劇; pinyin: Jīngjù) is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century."
