A delegation of performers is set to wow US audiences with a kaleidoscope of Chinese traditional operas like Huangmei opera, Hui opera and Peking opera during the upcoming Lunar New Year.

The majority of the cast members are from Anhui Huangmei Opera Theater and Anhui Hui Opera & Peking Opera Theater.

The delegation will stage four shows in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston and Miami, together with two parties in celebration of Spring Festival with local Chinese communities.

The news is making a splash in those cities, especially in Houston, where the mayor has agreed to mark February 15, 2013, as Houston Huangmei Opera and Hui Opera Day.
