Tibetan opera is a Tibetan drama that uses masks and dance to tell stories. It was formed in the 14th century and spread across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The eight traditional Tibetan operas are often performed, and the content is mostly myths and legends in Buddhist scriptures that encourage good and punish evil. Tibetan opera was originally spread among the people, and was performed in squares or temples by artists through oral transmission. Later, professional troupes were established and stage performances appeared. Both performance styles are recognized and loved by the Tibetan people. Tibetan opera carries the blood of Tibetan culture, reflects the life and thoughts and feelings of the Tibetan people, and is an important part of their cultural life.
