Dozens of Peking opera performances are being held online this summer amid the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.

Eighteen Peking opera troupes across the country, including the National Peking Opera Company, have performances on the internet.

From Aug. 8 to Sept. 6, about 30 outstanding plays will be staged free for audiences.

The online performance season featuring Peking opera troupes from around the country aims to honor frontline medics and community workers in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic and boost public morale.
