Peking Opera can get very loud at times. This video shows how loud it can get and a fighting scene.
Watching a Peking Opera like watching a carnival. It is very loud and lively unlike Noh. People watch this Opera to have fun. Whenever a fight scene is done or something truly amazing happens, the performers stop letting the audience know to applaud. There is also the occasional female yelling for the male performers.
Weapons are also a major part. Weapons are a spear, Halberd, long tailed sword, sabre, staff, horsewhip, and hammers. Each main character has a specific weapon that also goes with what they represent.
