The performance of Chinese Peking Opera Female Generals of the Yang Family was warmly welcomed by Lithuanian audience on Thursday.

The famous story illustrated in the form of Peking Opera was not very familiar to Lithuanian people. But the opera itself and the delegation led by influential artists have attracted many audiences.

"The tickets were sold out within two weeks, and today there were about 1300 people coming for this performance," Danas Skramtai, senior concert manager of Lithuania's national philharmonic society, told Xinhua.

Besides some temporarily added seats, many people were standing on the aisles for this show.
