Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe is a professional all-women Yue opera (i.e. Yue opera) troupe in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Along with Zhejiang Yue Opera Troupe and Shanghai Yueju Troupe, it is one of China's most famous Yue opera troupes. It has toured the U.S., France, Holand, Belgium, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places.
Mao Weitao, the current director of the troupe, has tried innovative (and controversial) ways to revive interest in Yue opera, such as adding elements of pop music, modern dance and even musical into the art.[2]
