Chinese
opera
 Chinese opera together with
Greece tragic-comedy and
Indian Sanskrit Opera are the
three oldest dramatic art forms
in the world. During the Tang
Dynasty (618 – 907), the
Emperor Taizong established
an opera school with the poetic
name Liyuan (Pear Garden).
From that time on, performers
of Chinese opera were referred
to as 'disciples of the pear
garden'. Since the Yuan
Dynasty (1271 - 1368) Chinese
opera has been encouraged by
court officials and emperors and
has become a traditional art
form. During the Qing Dynasty
(1644 - 1911), Chinese opera
became fashionable among
ordinary people. Performances
were watched in tearooms,
restaurants, and even around
makeshift stages.

What appeals to foreigners most might be the different styles of facial make-up,
which is one of the highlights of Chinese opera and requires distinctive techniques of
painting. Exaggerated designs are painted on each performer's face to symbolize a
character's personality, role, and fate. This technique may have originated from
ancient religions and dance. Audiences who are familiar with opera can know the
story by observing the facial painting as well as the costumes. Generally, a red face
represents loyalty and bravery; a black face, valor; yellow and white faces, duplicity;
and golden and silver faces, mystery.
Peking Opera

Peking Opera combines music,
acrobatic dance, and spectacular
costumes to tell stories from
Chinese history and folklore.
Using abstract, symbolic
gestures rich in dramatic
meaning, actors represent
personages from the heroic,
divine, and animal worlds, often
in martial exploits. The
traditional features of the
masklike makeup and elaborate
costumes immediately identify
the characters to a knowing
audience.

The famous huangmei opera originated in Anqing, （Anhui
Province）,It is safe to say that most people know more about
Huangmei Opera than they do about Huangmei County in
Central China's Hubei Province, the birthplace of the popular
Chinese folk genre.
This is not the least bit surprising, as Huangmei Opera
troupes in East China's Anhui Province have for decades been
noted for their superb performances, which has resulted in a
deeply rooted misunderstanding among audiences.
Many folk opera lovers, both within China and outside, have
long assumed that not only did Huangmei Opera originate in
Anhui Province, but also that Huangmei County is part of Anhui.
This misconception has long bothered Zhang Zhixiong,
director of the Culture Bureau of Huangmei County. Zhang was
in Beijing yesterday to announce the debut of two new
Huangmei operas - "Please Take Me as Your Bride" and
"Cashing in" - at the Grand Chang'an Theatre tonight and
tomorrow evening.
