Beijing Opera is a combination of chang (singing), nian (dialogue), zuo (pantomime) and da (acrobatic fighting and dancing). Its repertoire is often derived from tales of the past- important historical events, legends of emperors and generals, geniuses and beauties. There are four major roles – sheng (male), dan (young female), jing (painted face, male) and chou (clown, male and female) where each can be divided into more roles.
Taking the stage to present excerpts of the famous Beijing Opera are Li Li, a graduate from National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts (中国戏曲学院) who is studying the roles of “dan” (young female) and a member of Beijing Opera Company (北京京剧院); and Jia Jinsong, who is well sort-after in the role of “lao sheng” and an lecturer of National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts.
