Abstract
Throughout Chinese history, traditional opera has encountered peaks and valleys. Although the status of the art and performers has been long controversial, the most significant factor that determines the destiny of traditional Chinese opera is actually the vitality of its market. My thesis seeks to tackle the role of market and audience participation in different stages of the development of Peking Opera, delineating the tripartite relationship between political interference, audience participation, and technological development. Within Henry Jenkins’ theoretical framework of media convergence, I investigate collective intelligence, participatory culture, and contemporary fan culture vis-à-vis digital media that has been contextualized in traditional Chinese opera and its economic impact. I also explore the reactions and responses of the opera industry in China under the new norm of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 period.
