The first joint production between China's National Peking Opera Company and the Tibet Opera Troupe

Before and during the Olympics, the issue of Tibet was frequently in the news.  In March, an anti-government demonstration in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, turned into a riot. It catapulted the Himalayan region into the headlines and led to protests that disrupted the Olympic torch relay. In the closing days of the Beijing Olympics, China showcased a new production of an old propaganda opera that presents an image of Sino-Tibetan harmony.  Stephanie Ho reports from Beijing.
