Visit to Chengdu (part 4, the Sichuan Opera)

We attended "Chinese Operas" in both Beijing and Chongqing, and were disappointed both times.  We finally got it right, with the Sichuan Opera 

in Chengdu.

Masks of the Sichuan Opera:

The mask-changing slight-of-hand  is the most famous aspect of this traditional entertainment.
