Photographs from 2018 when I visited these beautiful and fascinating Ming Dynasty stages built in the 16th century. (A) Theatre stage, Yu Garden, Shanghia. (B) Dixi opera 'stage', Tianlong, Anshun, Guizhou Province
Dixi opera is performed without a stage and so is also known as ground opera. The present-day performance area here is in Anshun, where this ‘folk opera’ originated. (C) Theatre stages, Qingyan Town, Guiyang, Guizhou Province.
