Peking opera, or Beijing opera, “the quintessence of China”, displays a uniquely Chinese art form. As one of the classic art forms of imperial China, Beijing Opera is a staple of cultural tradition in the modern era. Reflecting the opulence and dramatic storytelling from as far back as the mid Qing Dynasty (late 18th century), the actors and actresses keep the history of China alive with their vivid costumes and lilting voices. It is a combination of acrobatics, singing, and dancing. Stylistic role-play, facial make-up, costumes, vocal skills, and traditional music are the major highlights of Peking opera.
