[PAST EVENT] Discover Beijing Opera: A Zoom Presentation
Location
ZoomWMCI is honored to host a very talented group, D.C. Beauty of Beijing Opera, who will present the beautiful and mesmerizing Beijing Opera Classics. Beijing Opera is a traditional form of Chinese theatre originating in the 1600s, in which performers focus especially on how their breath is used and how words are pronounced while singing, resulting in a unique sound that is unparalleled in other forms of opera. DCBBO's work has been recognized by government at the state and federal level, and has also received an abundance of positive media attention for their efforts to bring this elegant form of Chinese theatre to new eyes and ears.
The lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 26th, using Zoom: https://cwm.zoom.us/s/96105713078. Password: 1693. After the lecture, the audience will have a chance to interact with presenters. We look forward to seeing you!
