The Taipei Li-yuan Peking Opera Theatre, founded in 1997, was transformed from the Beijing Opera Group of the Dr. C. F. Koo Foundation. Setting the objective of promoting  Beijing Opera, for years, the troupe has put on many new and acclaimed operas, such as The Scholar of Ba-Shan, The Wilderness, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, The Jester, and Bosom Friends, written and directed by Li Bao-chun, the troupe director. Based on traditional operas, the troupe established a unique brand of “New Old Operas of Li Bao-chu” through revisions and innovations combined with a new perspective and modern spirit. The troupe performs regularly at Taipei EYE for foreign visitors, demonstrating excellent traditional skills. It also spares no effort in training new talents in Taiwan; Huang Yu-lin, the “Little Queen of Beijing Opera in Taiwan”, and Li Yiu-xuan, a new and talented actor, are among those who have made a name for themselves in the field.
