Chengdu Chunxi Road Plum Blossom Theatre* Intangible Cultural Heritage Sichuan Opera Face-Changing Performance

• Classic Sichuan Opera Stunts: Sichuan Opera Face-changing, as the treasure of Sichuan Opera, is the core highlight of the performance. Actors instantly change masks through ingenious mechanisms and rapid movements, displaying different emotions and characters, allowing the audience to experience the magic of this traditional art. In addition to face-changing, there is also fire-spitting, where actors spew out blazing flames from their mouths, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
• Rich Program Forms: The performance includes multiple exciting acts, such as the opening "Sichuan Opera Masterpiece – Dao Ma Dan," where actors showcase the image of a female hero with exquisite martial arts and heroic demeanor; "Intangible Cultural Heritage Art – Long-Spout Teapot Tea Ceremony" combines tea art with acrobatics, as tea masters perform various difficult movements with long-spout teapots; there are also humorous and funny "Sichuan Opera Skit – Rubber Band Rolling Lamp," highly skilled "Acrobatic Essence – Diabolo Spinning" and "Acrobatic Essence – Jar Balancing," the fantastical "Folk Stunt –靈動手影 (Nimble Hand Shadows)," and the elegant and graceful "Traditional Masterpiece – Opera Long Sleeve Dance," among others, keeping the audience captivated.
• Rich Interactive Segments: Actors will come off stage to interact with the audience. For example, during the long-spout teapot tea ceremony, actors will go to the seats to pour tea for the audience, allowing them to experience the charm of old Chengdu's Gaiwan tea; during face-changing, actors will walk among the audience, performing face-changing up close and shaking hands, allowing the audience to more directly feel the charm of Sichuan Opera. Audiences who purchase face-changing dolls can also take photos with the face-changing masters after the performance.
• Strong Traditional Atmosphere: The Meihua Grand Theatre's venue is decorated with elements of old Chengdu's customs, such as old opera stages and old-fashioned rattan chairs, making the audience feel as if they have traveled back in time and can immerse themselves in the unique charm of Sichuan Opera culture.
