Chinese theatre can trace its origin back a few millennia to ancient China, but the Chinese opera started to develop in the 12th century. Western forms like the spoken drama, Western opera in Chinese, western-style opera, and ballet did not arrive in China until the 20th century. History Theatre in China dates back to as early as the Shang dynasty (16th century BC?– 1046 BC).

Shanghai Opera
Shanghai opera (), formerly known as Shenqu (), is a variety of Chinese opera from Shanghai typically sung in Shanghainese. It is unique in Chinese opera in that virtually all dramas in its repertoire today are set in the modern era (20th and 21st centuries). This arose from Yue opera's dominance in Shanghai in the 1940s. ''Huju'' is particularly popular in Baihe, the oldest town in the Qingpu District of Shanghai. There are eight to ten ''huju'' ensembles in the Baihe, and many local residents hire these ensembles to perform for weddings and funerals. ''Huju'' is accompanied by traditional Chinese instruments, including '' dizi'' (transverse bamboo flute), ''erhu'' (two-stringed fiddle), '' pipa'' (pear-shaped lute), ''yangqin'' (hammered dulcimer), and percussion.
