The history of Peking Opera The history of Peking Opera Peking opera? Peking Opera Performance Facial designs Characters Beijing opera consists of singing, recital, gestures and fighting actions. The song-and-dance routine, the dazzling costumes, the stylized performance and colorful facial make-up were a huge draw. Beijing opera recreates settings and props through the use of mimed gestures and actions. The stage has no real door, carriage, boat, mountain or horse; hence the actors will mime the action of opening the door, entering through the door, getting on a carriage, rowing a boat, climbing up a mountain and riding a horse. For example, the hands showing the action of holding a rein means the actor is riding a horse, the act of walking round the stage in one circle means a long journey. UP UP Chinese facial make-up is a unique part of Chinese opera. Chinese opera is based on these four character types:sheng?(生)：a male role, such as a young man, an elderly man, or a warrior. dan?（旦）：a female role, such as a young lady, a beautiful lady, a lady warrior, or an elderly woman. jing?(净)：also known as the painted face, used on a chivalrous and rugged male role. chou?(丑
