Shanghai Jingju Company

Shanghai Jingju Company (Chinese: , p Shànghǎi Jīngjù Yuàn), also known as the Shanghai Peking Opera Company, is a theatre company based in Shanghai, China, which produces Peking Opera. It was founded in 1955, with Zhou Xinfang its director. The Shanghai Beijing-Opera Theatre is at 168 Yueyang Road, Xuhui, Shanghai.

Although the Shaoxing opera as performed at the Shanghai Yueju Yuan is geographically nearer to Shanghai, Peking Opera has long had a following in Shanghai, just as southern opera styles have a following in northern China.

Other famous jingju troupes include the China National Peking Opera Company in Beijing, the Beijing Jingju Yuan (), the Shanghai Youth Jing-Kun Troupe (), Shenyang Jingju Yuan (), Fujian Jingju Yuan () and the Taipei New Theatre (). Defunct troupes include the Chongya Company of 1916 () and the Sanqingban 1790-1890 ().
