Traditional art form with a history dating back centuries hits a high note again, Zheng Xin reports.
Lei Yin knows the world is a stage for Sichuan Opera as its appeal is going global and audiences around the world discover its passion and technique. With a growing number of young people pursuing a career in opera, the ancient art form is embracing a dramatic revival, said Lei, head of the Chengdu Opera Art Research Institute.
"While we used to worry about inheriting the responsibility of managing a national intangible heritage, I'm more busy now planning the schedule for the institute's performances both at home and abroad," Lei said.
