1. Why is Beijing Opera a national treasure of China
It uses acting, talking, singing, music, dancing and acrobatics. All of those forms are difficult to master. That is why it’s one of China’s national treasures.
2. Why do performers sing in very high voices
This is because in the early days, it was usually performed on open-air stages. In order to be heard over the crowds, the music had to be loud and performers had to sing in very high voices.
3. Why are the costumes in bright colours
In the past, it was often performed on stages that were lit only by oil lamps. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to attract the audience’s attention.
