The development of Beijing opera is currently facing serious challenges how to see the development of Beijing opera?

The dilemma is the lack of actors and the lack of audience.

While Peking Opera, as the largest opera in China, has troupes in every province, there are fewer and fewer actors who are good at singing, reading, acting and playing. The cultural and artistic training of the actors is not comparable to that of the old artists. In the past, Mr. Mei Lanfang, Mr. Ma Lianliang, and Mr. Qiu Shengrong were able to make their own suggestions on the production of Peking Opera costumes, which not only conformed to the identity of the characters, but also compensated for their own shortcomings. Nowadays, actors at best pick the length, fat and thin. The Republican period was the heyday of Peking Opera, when Mr. Mei Lanfang hired many professors to assist in the reform of Peking Opera, and the costumes he wore in his plays such as "The Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers" were all taken from Dunhuang frescoes. Nowadays, not to mention which actor, which troupe or even a higher organization, can spend so much effort? The actor's training and culture are important.

Lack of audience. The long break in generations has created a disconnect in the audience. It is said that Peking Opera should be reformed, but how to change is the key. Just add a sound and light set props and other superficial fancy seems to be reformed, do not think, if they engage in three-dimensional, 3D that are watching the movie is not over. Peking Opera is virtual, programmed, this change for the sake of change, not good, but right or wrong. Peking Opera reformers must first become a good audience for traditional Peking Opera, and their own appreciation level can only be raised to a certain level in order to guide a larger audience.

In addition, in terms of the general environment, the neglect of traditional culture is also one of the major reasons why Peking Opera is facing difficulties. If Peking Opera as a specialty, the college entrance examination can add points, that Peking Opera enthusiasts will grow exponentially.
