 Beijing (Peking) Opera
Performance art and musical drama are deeply rooted in Chinese tradition. Though performers were once widely regarded as the lowest class in ancient China, a plethora of schools of traditional operas and dramatic arts have transcended time and still attract large audiences in the present People's Republic. The most widely known and influential is, of course, Beijing Opera, or jing ju, which originated over two hundred years ago and is a synthesis of grace, voice, discipline, and physical agility. Over the course of history, contrary to its name, Beijing Opera has incorporated musical melodies from operas throughout China.

Beijing Opera is a performing art unique in its aesthetic achievement. Though Beijing Opera is a combination of many aspects of the performing art, vocal art is its most essential part. It can be said with certainty that without vocal art there is no opera. The singing of both male and female roles is diverse and expressive, giving vent to their innermost feelings and emotions. It has an enchanting artistic appeal.
