From Peking Opera and Sichuan Opera to Yu and Yue Opera, China has developed nearly 300 genres of this traditional Chinese art form over the centuries. Each genre from different regions has its own unique style, which depends on the way different languages have adapted, the style of music, as well as the narratives and stories. On March 27, opera performers and enthusiasts around the world took part in a range of activities to celebrate the annual World Theatre Day.
