The China Beijing Opera

With English & Chinese subtitles

The Beijing Opera Troupe will radically alter any preconceived notions that the artform is meant for Chinese- speaking grandads and grandmas. Instead, this highly-acclaimed troupe has modernised China's age-old theatrical art with an adrenaline rush that captivates audiences from all walks of life, young or old.

The performance in Singapore will highlight six of the great Chinese classics, as well as a full-length feature of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. To fully appreciate the vibrant performance, pay attention to the remarkable acrobatics, face painting and the art of the glance (eye movements).
