Exhibition honoring Peking Opera school hits high notes

Many famous Peking Opera actors and instructors graduated from Fuliancheng, playing pivotal roles in the advancement of the art form. In 1948, due to economic constraints, Fuliancheng ceased its operations. Some graduates subsequently enrolled in institutions like the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, Beijing Vocational College of Opera and Arts, and other opera schools nationwide, adopting and preserving Fuliancheng's training methods to enrich Peking Opera education.

Sun Ping, a Peking Opera actress and art research professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, emphasized the importance of studying and upholding Fuliancheng's educational model to preserve and advance traditional culture. She highlighted that the essential goal of nurturing young talents is to ensure the sustainable growth of Peking Opera.

Organized by the Capital Museum and the China Theatre Association, the exhibition will be open to the public until March 30.
