Children learn Tibetan opera in southwest China

A Tibetan opera teacher gives a lesson at Lhasa Experimental Primary School in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Sept. 11, 2025. Considered a living fossil of Tibetan culture, Tibetan opera blends talking, singing, acting, dancing and literature. It was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. With the government's support and the dedication of both young and old Tibetan opera enthusiasts, along with the efforts of intangible cultural heritage inheritors, this traditional art form is gaining new momentum on the plateau.
