Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- The revolutionary opera "The Flower Girl" is being staged before full house in China, evoking lively response among audiences.

Those who watched the opera at the Qingdao Grand Theatre and Shandong Hall gave their impressions in an excited tone.

The deputy head of the Propaganda Department of the Qingdao City Party Committee said that "The Flower Girl" was adapted for a movie and opera but it gives the same inspiration to the audience. The revolutionary opera still remains a masterpiece always remembered by Chinese, the deputy head added.

A prosecutor in the city noted that the opera mesmerized the audiences for its ideological value and artistry, the simple yet truthful acting of actors and actresses, their high artistic skill and unique stage decor.

Watching the opera today, I came to have conviction that Korean stage art is the best in the world.

The audience shared weal and woe with leading actors and actresses.

Much water has flown under the bridge since the opera was produced, but it is still evoking lively response among audience.

It was great fortune for me to have watched the excellent performance.

The opera is much better than any operas of Europe known worldwide.

It is my belief that the performance tour would deeply impress Chinese audiences.

These were part of what Chinese audiences said after the watching the opera.
