To help foreign friends overcome language barriers, English captions were used in the performance from libretto to the spoken parts, thus making the performance a "bilingual" Peking opera worthy of the name.
What's more surprising is that the list of Peking operas previously staged for foreign friends were usually either "Stealing Fairy Grass", "Picking Up Jade Bracelet", or the "Fork in a Road", and "Creating an Uproar in the Heavenly Palace", all these were basically highlights from operas featuring acrobatic fighting and fairy tales, but this time, the Beijing Peking Opera Theater staged for foreigners the "Prosperity Brought by the Dragon and the Phoenix", a Chinese opera characterized by singing and acting. Some of them are correspondents stationed in Beijing and their families from 11 countries, including Indonesia, Italy, Germany, Qatar, Spain, Malaysia, Cuba, Turkey and Pakistan, some are foreign students studying Chinese language and culture at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, as well as foreign tourists hosted by travel services. The theater welcomed in a group of special spectators: More than one hundred foreign friends.
