Step into the vibrant world of Sichuan Opera, where ancient traditions meet Gen-Z energy! At Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theater, a new generation of post-2000s artists is reimagining classics like The Legend of the White Snake while honoring centuries-old artistry.
Shen Tiemei, director of the theater and vice chairwoman of the China Theatre Association, told us: "Sichuan Opera isn’t just about masks and melodies – it’s a living diary of resilience." This spirit comes alive as young performers like Wan Yuehan blend rigorous training with fresh storytelling. "Every movement feels like a conversation with history," says the rising star.
