Red Cliff (Peking opera)

Red Cliff (赤壁 chì bì) is a traditional Peking opera. The China NCPA made a new modern adaption of the opera which premiered at the first anniversary of the National Grand Theatre in 2008. The director was the choreographer and PLA lieutenant general Zhang Jigang, best known as deputy chief director of the Beijing Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies.

In China the opera appeared in three versions - for older singers, youth, and children - as part of the educational purpose of the project. The opera then toured Europe.
