Chinese tea-picking opera performance fascinates Czech audience
"Opera is a common language between different cultures and a strong bridge linking the people of the globe, "said Wang Zhonghua, an official from Nanchang county.
He said the performance is meaningful under the Belt and Road Initiative, as cultural exchange is an important part of the initiative. Tea picking opera has been listed the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Jiangxi province. "The best way to protect it is to let more people know it, domestically and internationally," he said.
At today's stage, besides traditional tea-picking opera, artists also performed other Chinese traditional arts and folksongs, like Peking Operas and Sichuan opera "Changing faces".
"We can feel the passion of the audience, they really enjoyed it," said Li Rujiang, Chairman of the Czech-China economic, trade and culture promotion association, who helped organize the event.
After the Prague tour, the troupe will also perform in Germany and the Netherlands in the next days.
