Imagine a sky ablaze with glowing opera masks and robotic performers moving in perfect harmony with human artists—this was the scene at the 2025 China Sci-Tech Innovation Gala! Held in Hefei City, the event blended cutting-edge tech with 234-year-old cultural roots, commemorating the Four Anhui Opera Troupes’ historic 1790 Beijing arrival that shaped Peking Opera.
💡 Why it’s lit: The show used drone swarms to ‘paint’ iconic opera scenes overhead, while AI-powered robots mimicked traditional gestures, creating a viral fusion of past and future. China Media Group’s production team called it a ‘digital bridge’ for Gen-Z to connect with heritage.
