Since its ironical origins from South China, and not Beijing, the Peking Opera is the most popular form of Chinese entertainment. The author gives information on the Peking Opera’s makeup, music and acting techniques. It also has biographies of renowned Peking Opera performers and its two-centuries-old history. With b&w and color photos.
