The 2011 May Holiday Performing Season of the China National Peking Opera Company (CNPOC) will begin on April 22 with shows across Beijing, including at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater and Chang'an Grand Theater.
New repertoires and innovative interpretations of old works have helped revive the traditional art form and reached a wider audience in recent years, says Song Guanlin, director of CNPOC.
The company brings together three generations of Peking Opera singers to present classic and modern pieces for the month-long season.
