the opera. The opera would come to the fore in 2004 with Cao Qijing as the
director.

for the performance of western operas: we have first-class singers and our glee
club is also of also of high standard with abundant experiences. We are confident to perform
any of the large-scale operas. The focal point for us now is to bring
forward some original opera works with Chinese characteristics." noted Liu Zhongjun, the vice president of the
troupe.
