Colin Mackerras has been to the Tibet Autonomous Region four times, in 1985, 1990, 1997, and in 2002. In addition, he has been to other Tibetan areas, in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan, many times. When he visits any area, he is never shy to talk to the locals and jots down all he sees. He has also taken many pictures, of which those below are a small sample.

Below are just a few images of his time in 2002. They show a surprisingly strong survival of Tibetan culture.

Tibetan Drama

It is characterised by smooth and melismatic singing method and extensive use of masks, with the stories about the struggle between good and evil and based on Tibetan history or Buddhist themes.
