Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama" Huiban". It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
Theatrical(戏剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama.
