Hui Opera is a traditional form of Chinese opera originating from the ancient Huizhou area and is one of the major local opera genres in Anhui Province. In 2006, it was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Since 2023, the Huangshan Hui Opera Theater has selected and recruited a group of young Hui Opera actors, addressing the shortage of inheritors and improving the preservation system of Hui Opera.
These young actors have steadily gained experience, improved their skills, and expanded the influence of Hui Opera through performances in village opera festivals and promotion events held in rural areas and schools. They have developed a confident stage presence, bringing new vitality to this ancient art form with their solid foundations and richly expressive singing. (Photo by Fan Chengzhu/Xinhua)
