Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
You're listening to Roundtable with myself, He Yang.
I'm joined by Yu Xun and Jason Smith, host of the Bridge Podcast with me.
Coming up, join us in celebrating the beautiful fusion of tradition and modernity with not one, but two cultural extravaganzas.
The CMG Spring Festival Gala and and the Chinese Opera Gala.
We bring you a snapshot of the Chinese New Year Opera Gala hosted by China Media Group.
It promises to immerse your senses and wonder, kindle your curiosity for time honored arts and ignite your interest to carry this timeless heritage forward into the future.
It's going to be lots of fun and certainly a cultural discovery.

Now on Roundtable.
So Jason, Chinese Opera Gala, what are some of the most memorable highlights or takeaways from your experience?
Well, I had the opportunity to go backstage for quite a while, for a couple of days.
And so there are lots of amazing sets and I wasn't ready for that.
I wasn't ready to see how many sets they had.
So they had all of these 1950s and 1960s set because the Opera Gala actually takes place using a variety of timescales.
You have ancient Chinese costumes and culture and you have modern contemporary culture and costumes and you have 1950s, 1960s China as well.
