The 2024 Hunan Opera Spring Festival Gala is due to be broadcast at 8 pm, on Feb 11, via Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV.

Traditional Chinese opera styles will be highlighted at the gala, covering nearly 20 folk opera styles prevalent in the Hunan province, such as Huagu Opera, Xiangju Opera and Qiju Opera, presented by both award-winning veteran performers and young inheritors.

The gala combines onstage performances with backstage scenes, so that the audience members will get to know how the performers undergo makeup and prepare themselves for the performances.

The gala's stage design draws inspiration from traditional opera headwear, and technological approaches including extended reality and projection are adopted to showcase classic stories in contemporary formats.
