The Philadelphia Chinese Opera Society (PCOS) is the only organization in the Philadelphia region devoted to the study, teaching, and performance of Beijing opera. In 2010, PCOS was awarded Center support for a performance of three traditional Beijing operas, two dramas and a love story: The Case of Chen Shimei (a Philadelphia premiere), The Wild Boar Forest, and The Jade Bracelet.
