Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Chinese Beijing Opera, also known as Peking Opera, is a traditional Chinese theatrical art form that has been passed down for centuries.

It combines music, singing, dancing, and acrobatics to tell stories from Chinese history and mythology.

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headpieces that reflect their characters' social status and personalities.

One of the most iconic characters in Peking Opera is the young lady, or Xiaodan.

She is often portrayed as a beautiful and graceful woman who embodies the virtues of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.

Her costume is a symbol of her status as a noblewoman, with its flowing silk fabric and intricate embroidery.

The Xiaodan actress wears a long dress made of silk or other luxurious materials, which is adorned with intricate patterns and designs.

The dress is usually loose-fitting and flows gracefully as she moves on stage.

The headpiece, or headdress, is also an important part of the costume and can vary depending on the character's personality and social status.

In addition to the costumes, the performers also use various props and instruments to enhance their performances.

For example, they may use fans to create a sense of wind or use swords to represent martial arts scenes.

The music played during Peking Opera performances is also unique and features a combination of traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu and pipa.

Peking Opera has a rich cultural heritage and has been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2010.

Its popularity has spread worldwide, with many countries now hosting Peking Opera festivals and performances.

Despite the challenges posed by modernization and globalization, Peking Opera continues to thrive as a testament to China's artistic legacy and cultural diversity.
