Traditional Peking Opera is a quintessential part of Chinese culture. The ancient art has been reinvented for modern popular culture, seen in movies and even on the catwalk. But few people outside China really know about Peking Opera. Now a documentary series, which will premiere this Monday on CCTV’s Documentary channel, aims to shed light on the fascinating stories behind it.

Peking Opera is one of China’s best known cultural symbols - a unique stage performance that has charmed people for hundreds of years. But despite the opera’s fame around the world, few people really know of the art form’s history and understand its cultural significance to China. CCTV documentary production "Peking Opera" is just about to reveal the stories behind this form of Chinese opera.
