COSTUME
Known in Chinese as “xingtou” (costumes of actors) or “juzhuang” (Peking Opera costumes),
these general terms describe the clothing worn by various characters in Peking Opera. With
exquisite embroidery, exaggerated patterns and bright colors, the costumes give the audience a
sense of luxury and beauty.

The vocal music consists mainly of erhuang (adapted from folk tunes of Anhui and Hubei) and xipi
(from Shaanxi tunes). In addition, Peking opera assimilates the tunes of the much older
kunqu opera of the south and some folk arias popular in the north.
