TIBET Autonomous Region has earmarked 2 million yuan (US$294,920) to preserve Tibetan opera, the regional government said yesterday.
The funds will be used to train more performers and upgrade opera facilities, the regional cultural department said in a press release.
The funds will benefit eight schools of Tibetan opera that have fairly long histories and are popular among Tibetans, it said.
"These schools are popular in Doilungdeqen County on the outskirts of Lhasa, Namling County of Xigaze, Nedong County of Shannan, and Chagyab County of Qamdo," it said.
Tibetan opera is more than 600 years old, about 400 years older than Peking opera, one of China's famous cultural treasures.
The performing art features vivid face masks, earthy dancing, unvarnished singing and colorful costumes.
Tibetan operas are usually staged during religious festivals and for family celebrations.
