Child's play

Jin Opera artist Wu Lingyun, one of the organizers of the event, said: "Our performance, Ode to Guan Gong, serves as a bridge between children and traditional opera. By integrating popular singing techniques with classic opera dialogue, we break down barriers and invite children into the world of opera in a way they can easily connect with."

Wu said that he was amazed by the participating children's performances, noting their confidence and poise on stage. "Despite their limited exposure to opera, their curiosity and passion for traditional culture are truly moving," he said.
