It was quite noisy outside. So they played loudly so that the crowds can hear clearly. M: And as Beijing Opera was performed mostly on open-air stages and there was no lights at that time. The stage was lit by oil lamps only. If the costumes werent in bright colors, the crowds wouldnt be able to see them clearly.W: Oh, I see.
