Slideshow of Tibetan opera

The Tibetan Opera, considered a "living fossil" of Tibetan culture, has many forms and schools of art due to different natural conditions, customs, culture and traditions, as well as dialects of the region. 

These photos were taken at Nyangra Folk Customs Resort in Lhasa, Tibet, Sept 12, 2009. This is a large file and may take some time to download.
