In Beijing, I had the opportunity to have dinner at a restaurant that featured a variety show that my local friends called “Chinese Opera”. This show featured Musicians, Singers, Martial Artists, A Magician, a Juggler and a Sichaun “Bian Lian” performance, where face masks are changed right in front of you at blinding speeds, almost like magic. It was a wonderful show and I was glad I had my camera with me that evening!

Here are four images of a diva from that evening – her ability to emote was amazing.
