CGTN published this video item, entitled “Live: Unveil selected scenes ‘Zhe Zi Xi’ of traditional Peking Opera repertoires” – below is their description.
“Zhe Zi Xi (In Chinese: 折子戏),” a selection of highlighted scenes or acts from a full play, is a form of production in Peking Opera as the full length of some of the plays could run for more than 24 hours. “Zhe Zi Xi” is usually made of selected scenes that are more demanding in performing skills and has a relatively condensed dramatic structure as well as a more completed storyline.
Join CGTN in northeast China’s Dalian city as the performers of China National Peking Opera Company @Nihao Peking Opera get ready for three “Zhe Zi Xi” selections from traditional #PekingOpera repertoires. #NihaoPekingOpera
