Peking Opera

Singing, movement and martial arts combine with vivid costumes and symbolic make-up. An introduction to its characters and gestures offers a way into Peking opera's stories.

A painted face, a lifted sleeve and a measured step each carry meaning. Looking at the roles and gestures before watching a scene helps reveal the storytelling within this theatrical tradition.
