It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing．Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi，eventually becoming more accessible to the common people．
In ancient times，Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air，teahouses or temple courtyards．Since the orchestra played loudly，the performers developed a sharp style of singing．The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps．Peking Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera，ballet and acrobatics （杂技），consisting of dance，dialogue and martial arts．
