On October 12, 2016, the Flushing Town Hall in New York City held its first forum on Chinese Opera in New York entitled “In Art We Trust.” As a joint program cohosted by The Permanent Conference on Chinese Oral and Performing Literature (CHINOPERL), the Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts (FCCA), and Chinese Theater Works, the forum brought together the academic world and performance practitioners to discuss the state of Chinese opera in the Greater New York Area, to share their best practices, and to explore ways of leveraging their respective resources toward greater success.

期刊介绍:
The focus of CHINOPERL: Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature is on literature connected to oral performance, broadly defined as any form of verse or prose that has elements of oral transmission, and, whether currently or in the past, performed either formally on stage or informally as a means of everyday communication. Such "literature" includes widely-accepted genres such as the novel, short story, drama, and poetry, but may also include proverbs, folksongs, and other traditional forms of linguistic expression.
