Modern and contemporary works include Taken Over Weihu Mountain Wisely, Shajiabang and A Story of Red Lantern.

There will also be a show featuring 12 young artists who follow the style of veteran performer Cheng Yanqiu (1904-58), on Feb 15. Cheng is one of the four iconic performers of Danjue (women's roles) in Peking Opera. He created many classic productions in the 1920s and 1930s.

The artists come from four theaters in Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. They will sing classic works Cheng created, including Zhu Yingtai Refuses to Get Married, Snow in June and Seeing off My Sons and Daughters.

"We hold Peking Opera concerts every Spring Festival. We invite the most famous performers to sing the most popular songs, which satisfies many Peking Opera fans," says Zhu Jing, publicity manager of the Forbidden City Concert Hall.
