This exhilarating traditional performance has a history going back over 2,000 years. The rituals and dynamic movements of Nuo Opera are believed to drive away evil spirits and usher in good fortune. Adorned in elaborate masks and costumes, the performers bring mythical creatures and gods to life, captivating audiences with their acrobatic prowess and stylized gestures. Recognized by UNESCO as part of the world's Intangible Cultural Heritage, Nuo Opera has danced through history until the present day across China, particularly Anhui, Guizhou, Yunnan and Jiangxi.
