Peking Opera Theatre Company of Beijing

Founded in 1979, the Peking Opera Theatre Company of Beijing is a second-class public institution directly under the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and one of the key Peking Opera troupes named by the Ministry of Culture. Formerly known as the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe, Beijing Municipal Peking Opera Troupe and Beijing Experimental Peking Opera Troupe, the Peking Opera Theatre Company of Beijing boasts inestimable artistic treasures created by masters of Peking Opera including MEI Lanfang, SHANG Xiaoyun, CHENG Yanqiu, XUN Huisheng, MA Lianliang, TAN Fuying, ZHANG Junqiu, QIU Shengrong, and ZHAO Yanxia. The Company has 480 cast members, who assume well-defined duties in a mighty performance team and can play various roles of different genres. WANG Rongrong, DU Zhenjie, LI Hongtu, CHI Xiaoqiu, ZHU Qiang, ZHANG Huifang, and HU Wenge are the most influential Peking Opera artists today.

The Company consists of nine operational departments, including the Peking Opera Troupe, MEI Lanfang Peking Opera Troupe, Youth Ensemble, Performing Arts Training Centre, Stage Art Centre, Comprehensive Business Department, Creation (Research) Department, Market Development Department, and TAN-School Art Research Institute, as well as four administrative departments including Party-Masses Work Department, General Management Department, Financial & Assets Department, and Human Resources Department.

Based on tradition, the Peking Opera Theatre Company of Beijing never stops producing and launching new-type Peking operas that meet the contemporary aesthetic standards and are fired with the innovative spirit. For decades, the Company has kept expanding its repertoire with more than 300 operas incorporated into it, including more than 260 traditional ones, such as The Chinese Orphan, The Unicorn Purse, Imperial Concubine YANG, The Return of the Phoenix, etc., and more than 60 new ones. In 2019, the Company set up a traditional production studio, aiming to discover, revive, inherit and develop some traditional operas of different schools that are on the verge of loss. About 20 traditional operas have been revived over the past two years.

After its establishment over 40 years ago, the Company has produced and launched a number of widely-loved newly adapted operas, of which Prime Minister LIU Yong, Finishing Touch, Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, MEI Lanfang, Tongrentang, Holy Soul: KONG Fansen, and Xialu Town, as well as little-theatre Peking operas Splashing Water in Front of the Horse and Six Chapters of a Floating Life, have won many national awards. LI Dazhao and XU Yunfeng, two new Peking operas produced recently, have been selected for the “Excellent Stage Art Works Festival for celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the CPC” held by the state and Beijing, respectively, and shortlisted for the Ninth China Peking Opera Art Festival.
