From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yalong Zhaxi Xoiba Tibetan Opera (Chinese: 雪巴藏戏; Tibetan: ཡར་ལུང་བཀྲ་ཤིས་ཞོལ་པའི་ལྷ་མོའི་རོལ་ཆས), also known as Sholpa Lhamo, is a traditional Tibetan opera form originating from the Yalong Valley in Shannan, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Rooted in 14th-century Buddhist rituals, it is distinguished by its masked dances, allegorical storytelling, and integration of Tantric chant traditions.[1][2]
