Peking opera, or Beijing opera, is the most dominant form of Chinese opera which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in Beijing in the mid-Qing dynasty and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.


Opera Singer Getong McBride began studying Chinese Opera at the age of 6 and graduated from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, Beijing in 2010. She performed for President Obama during one of his visits to China.
