Chinese opera is one of the oldest dramatic art forms in the world. These traveling troupes are preserving an essential cornerstone of culture and heritage dating to the seventh-century Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). The performance mixes martial arts elements, singing, and dancing, accompanied by music played on traditional Chinese instruments.

Performances are free — shrines around the country pay the troupes. The best chance to catch a show is around major holidays and festivals like Chinese New Year and the vegetarian festival. © Dennis Thern

There has been a a lot of blogging and pictures from the new Opera in Oslo on several blogs and sites all over the world. Here comes another one. I am not sure if this is better than other pictures, but I felt it was kind of interesting.

This tree in my front yard looks very much like an opera singer with just a little imagination! Taken for DPS assignment Monochrome.

opera torte by silverki55

i can't remember for the life of me what's in a classic opera torte, but here's one i made. the ganache on top could have been less bubbly, but it sure was shiny. the upper right corner got bashed in when a certain person in my class pushed a kitchenaid bowl into it.
