There are also quite a few Chinese TV programs with competitions for various forms of traditional Chinese opera. One of my favorites is Shanxi TV’s 走进大戏台. Master performers from across China compete in 伶人王中王. The evergreen opera program 梨园春 from Henan TV often has ongoing competitions. I’ve seen similar programs from Xi’an, Anhui, and Wuhan.
This is magnificent! Thank you for sharing about it. If only American enthusiasm could be captured for opera in this same way!
