Bank of China formally celebrated its 40 years in Luxembourg on Thursday evening at the Grand Théâtre, where guests were treated to a four-piece performance by the Jingju Theater Company of Beijing. The troupe of artists had been flown in from Beijing for the bank’s anniversary in a year which coincides with the 70th anniversary of the PRC. The Beijing operatic style considered the most dominant form of Chinese opera blends music and vocal performance, acrobatics, mime and dance. The carefully styled movements and elaborate costumes are symbolic, with layers of meaning to tell folkloric, historic and contemporary tales.
