Ping Opera

Ping Opera is very popular in Beijing, Tianjin, North and Northeast China. It has a history of more than 70 years. Developing out of Lianhua Luo, a kind of story-singing in the east of Hebei Province, it borrowed the tunes and acting style of Peking Opera, Hebei Bangzi Opera, shadow shows and drum melody, and developed its own style. Since moving from the rural areas into the cities, it has produced many mew programs influenced by modern drama and Peking Opera. It specializes in reflecting urban people's life with easily-understood text, speech-like tunes, clear articulation and the richness of everyday life. At first, female characters in Ping Opera were dominant and their tunes were beautiful and touching, while the male tunes were quite simple. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male arias have been greatly developed and there are many new plays in which male characters play the lead roles. Xin Fengxia is one of the representative performers of the opera.
