Peking Opera returns to UK after a decade

With star performers, lavish costumes, elaborate makeup and quick acrobatics, the Peking Opera brought two of its masterpieces to Britain for the first time in a decade.

Peking Opera, known as Jingju in Chinese, is a traditional theater form of China that dates back to the 18th century.

Members of the opera's troupe combine vocal narrations with music, acrobatics, acting, martial arts and dance.
