The 2024 Peking Opera Cultural Season co-initiated by the government of Beijing's Xicheng district began at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theatre on Nov 8. The season will run until Dec 23.

The opening ceremony featured many top Peking Opera artists, including Hu Wenge and Suo Mingfang, who performed classic Peking Opera excerpts, such as The Empty City Strategy and Mu Guiying Takes Command. There was also collaboration with renowned Peking Opera artists from the Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe, including Jiao Pengfei and Liu Jiaxin, and the Hebei Shijiazhuang Peking Opera Troupe, including Zhao Yuhua, who sang together to display Peking Opera's regional styles.

To commemorate the 130th anniversary of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang's birth and the 120th anniversary of Peking Opera master Cheng Yanqiu's birth, the opening ceremony invited young Peking Opera performers who have continued the performing styles founded by the masters to recall the legacy of generations and pay tribute.
