China's Peking Opera and Italian opera ignited sparks at a concert over the weekend.

Autumn Opera, hosted annually by Harvard Business School and Columbia Business School, integrated Peking Opera classics with Italian Opera songs in many performances.

Traditional Chinese costumes and Western suits and evening dresses appeared on the same stage, making a sharp contrast and a unique integration. The audience also had a chance to enjoy the charms of different musical forms from China and the West.

The concert was held as a sequel to the annual forum of the Harvard Business Review, an event bringing together many world famous economists, including 2014 Nobel Prize winner in Economics Jean Tirole.
