Sichuan Opera










Sichuan opera is a local art form. It tells historic stories and is done in a very colorful way with beautiful costumes. A parituclarly local twist is "changing faces" aspect. One of the main actor will have a mask that he can change abruptly without apparently doing anything. It is quite cool. Along with the story line, there are little interruptions, for a comedy routine, shadow puppet, and other activities not directly connected to the story.
