There are fewer people who like Beijing opera now. Will Peking Opera die if it is not deliberately protected?

There are fewer and fewer people who like Beijing opera.

In ancient China, Peking Opera was a very important form of theatrical performance. In ancient times, there was no TV set, so we had to go to the theater to watch the troupe sing, but in ancient times, there were also very rich families who invited the troupe to sing in their own homes when they met some particularly important things. Therefore, watching Beijing Opera in ancient times was a luxury pastime. Beijing opera is also called the national quintessence of our country, but now we find that fewer and fewer people are watching it. Most people who like watching Beijing opera now are old people. Many young people like to see things that are more fashionable or more modern and more futuristic.

Why are fewer and fewer people watching Beijing Opera now?

I think there are fewer and fewer people watching Beijing opera. In fact, it is also because of the performance form of Beijing opera, which usually has a long ending, so it only takes ten minutes to tell a story clearly, but it takes thirty minutes to present it with Beijing opera. Modern people can get a lot of information through the internet, so they will want to get more happiness in the shortest time. So, I don't want to watch Peking Opera for such a long time.

Will Peking Opera die if it is not deliberately protected?

I don't think Peking Opera will die out unless it is deliberately protected, because its status is much higher than other operas. Even though the drama industry is declining now, there are still many people studying Peking Opera. However, it is undeniable that the Beijing opera industry is not as brilliant as before. Everyone is familiar with the plays of Beijing opera, so Beijing opera can't bring us freshness. Beijing opera has its own charm, which can attract some people and groups. However, if we just present the same script over and over again, people will get aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, Beijing opera should find ways to innovate and make a brand-new story that everyone is very willing to see.
