Tibet Opera

Tibetan opera is a surpassingly beautiful flower of Tibet art it attracts many people which like Tibet knowledge and want to travel to Tibet. In Tibetan legend, there was a bridge expert called Tangdongjiebu, who saw wild torrential water on the wide snow land causing people trouble in transport and made a good wish to build bridges over the rivers for the people's convenience. In order to raise money for the bridges, he made full use of his talents, for he was also a versatile poet. He converted local dances, folk songs and slang singing into operas in full plots. Then Tibetan opera came into being, which helped the poet raise enough fund for the bridges. And the opera has been growing sturdily ever since.

Tibetan opera has many schools. Only in Garze Prefecture there are the following Kangding Tibetan opera, Batang Tibetan opera, Dege Tibetan opera. They have a lot of subject matters in common, but they differ a lot in artistic performance styles. They are performed when it is time for grand festivals and celebrations, usually in the open air like the grassland and courtyard, often for many hours a time. Among them, Sertar Tibetan Opera House is the most outstanding. They have found a new way to develop Tibetan opera by moving the opera onto the stage from open air, shortening the opera within two hours and assisting the performance with modern lighting and art design. Tibetan opera about King Gesaer is warmly welcomed not only by local people, but also by the whole Tibet and Qinghai Province.
