Foreign visitors to Beijing usually first visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, representative sites of historical interest in the city. In the evening, a tourist guide will take foreign visitors to the Changan Grand Theater on the Avenue of Enduring Peace. In the foyer are counters selling handicraft articles, Peking Opera masks and Peking Opera-related books, picture albums and audio-video products. Inside the theater, the stage is of a Western style; seats in the middle and rear rows are soft sofas; but in the front rows are exquisite Chinese-style square tables and armchairs. The traditional seats lend the theater a classical flavor. Sitting in your seat, you might take a look at the Chinese fans around you. They all have a relaxed expression and wear ordinary clothes. Many of them are speaking in each others ears. But as soon as the gong and drum strike up, they all calm down and watch the play intently. As the plot enfolds, they seem to know who should be the next to come onto the stage and when to applaud a particular actor or actress for his or her performance. More surprising, aside from applause, Chinese audiences show their appreciation for the performance of actors and actresses by shouting hao! It turns out that this means simply well-done or bravo.For first-time foreign viewers, Peking Opera is hard to understand. As a matter of fact, even contemporary Chinese feel more or less unfamiliar with Peking Opera. But as long as you are willing to explore for and understand the artistic characteristics and cultural connotations of Peking Opera, you will find that everything about Peking Opera is so interesting. One morning, you might find yourself in deep love with Peking Opera when you hear singing from Peking Opera fans.Peking Opera came into existence in a not too distant past, but it is full of mystery for Westerners. Peking Opera rooted in Chinese culture is quite different from Western drama. You would have a different impression from the one you get from the modern Changan Grand Theater if you see a Peking Opera performance in the Hunan-Guangdong Guildhall at 3 Hufang Road or in Zhengyici Guildhall at 220 Xiheyan Street. For foreign tourists, these two old-style theaters are showcases of folkways in old Beijing. Watching a Peking Opera performance in one of these traditional architectures with old-style interior decorations, you seem to be in the midst of a bygone era.
