Peking Opera star Guo Yu'ang is on a quest to make the centuries-old art form #Relatable for digital natives. At the 2026 Spring Festival Chinese Opera Gala, the Mei School successor dropped truth bombs: "Opera isn't your grandma's nostalgia trip – it's a full-sensory experience waiting to trend!" 🎤💥

Guo revealed how TikTok-style snippets and behind-the-scenes reels are hooking Gen-Z audiences. "Why scroll through cat videos when you can watch a warrior flip through the air while hitting a high C?" he quipped, referencing Peking Opera's blend of martial arts, music, and drama.
