Beilu Opera, also known as Fujian luantan or Hengshao Opera, is a regional traditional Chinese opera that emerged in the mid-Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It originated from the fusion of luantan (literally "random pluck") – introduced into East China's Fujian province during the Qing Dynasty – and local folk operas.

With a history of over 300 years, it once flourished across northern, central, and eastern Fujian province. As a rare opera genre representing the luantan vocal style of the Qing Dynasty, Beilu Opera holds significant cultural value.

Its name derives from opera troupes that evolved after luantan entered Fujian province – namely, the Beilu (northern route) troupe and Nanlu (southern route) troupe. The Beilu troupe was the most prominent and remains active in northeastern Fujian province, giving the genre its name.

Beilu Opera features primarily banqiang (singing based on symmetrical upper and lower lines) vocal structures, with a few elements of gaoqiang which is known for its rustic yet melodious style. Its melodies are graceful and narrative-driven, with lively rhythms and flowing vocal lines. One of its distinguishing traits is the use of standard Mandarin for both spoken and singing lines.

Performers use stylized gestures, including hand, eye, body, and step movements to convey character's emotions and personalities. Representative plays include The Story of Paper Horses and Fengjiao and Li Dan.

As one of the most influential rare opera genres in Fujian province, Beilu Opera carries deep historical and artistic value.
