In addition to classic Peking Opera performances, the video included an exclusive backstage view of what professional actors do behind the scenes, especially how they did their facial make-up and wore costume headpieces.
Yuyin Society recorded a video to immerse them in Peking Opera, just in time for their Chinese Culture Day. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make travel and in-person events unfeasible, true to our pioneering spirit we collaborated with Yuyin Society to develop the theatre company’s first-ever online offering to bring this learning experience to our Singapore school. These events brought a rich, interdisciplinary learning experience to our students: music, art, drama, Mandarin and, of course, an awareness of Chinese cultural history. This year, we planned and coordinated three different activities that could be customised for our schools – a day tour of Yuyinge, a theatre built in the Qing Dynasty a two-day in-person Peking Opera workshop and an online Peking Opera event. Yuyin Society joined us for a second time as part of our Diversity Arts Series, now in its 10th year, where we invite world-renowned artists in theatre, music, poetry and various other types of art to engage with our students and faculty. We kicked off our 2022 Worldwise Events with practitioners from Yuyin Society, one of the most prestigious Peking Opera companies in China, visiting our schools.
