In Chengdu, a city with a thousand-year-old cultural heritage, the Sichuan
Opera performance will take you on a journey through time to experience the
most authentic Bashu art feast! As a national intangible cultural heritage,
this 70-minute audio-visual feast brings together the essence of Sichuan
Opera: the opening "Naotai" gong and drum performance is passionately
performed by a Sichuan Opera master with 30 years of experience, and the
exciting drumbeats instantly ignite the enthusiasm of the audience; the
classic excerpt "Shi Huaiyu's Dream" is adapted from "Strange Tales from a
Chinese Studio", and the exquisite costumes, melodious singing and superb
acting skills fully demonstrate the charm of traditional Sichuan Opera; the
erhu solo presented by a specially invited well-known young musician from home
and abroad has a poignant and moving melody that will leave you mesmerized.
The grand finale, a spectacular face-changing and fire-breathing act, brought
the performance to a climax. The actors changed masks with lightning speed,
accompanied by bursts of flame, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. Even
more exciting, you'll have the opportunity to interact with the performers up
close and experience the magic of this ancient art firsthand. This Sichuan
Opera performance, blending tradition and passion, is not only a must-see
cultural experience during your trip to Chengdu, but also an unforgettable
sensory feast.
