"Before we came to the Baltic countries, we were a little worried about the feedbacks from local audiences who are more familiar with western operas," Yu Kuizhi, a well-known Peking Opera artist as well as head of the delegation, told Xinhua.

"But our shows in Estonia and Latvia were both very successful which got rid of our worries," he said.

"Both Estonian and Latvian audiences were very warm and they stood up with big applauses after our show. All our performers, including myself, were really touched by that," Yu added. They were warmly received in Lithuania.

"I think it's true that art doesn't have borders, and it's very memorable for us in our lives to perform in the Baltic countries," Yu added.

"I think Lithuanian audience are not only expecting the performance, but also will enjoy it today," Yu told Xinhua before the performance.
