Interestingly, the little "Sichuan Opera/Face Changing" show that we saw (thoroughly enjoyable, if inevitably tourist-y) allowed video recorders, and most people in the audience were happily taping away. Alas we left ourselves with a full tape for the digital camcorder, so we had to resort to the much cruder movie camera on the old Sony camera. Therefore, no good face changing videos for you to see ....
Apologies for the poor visual quality, but enjoy the music and try to imaging the color and spectacle.

Ladies dancing in "water sleeves", a device used in Sichuan opera to express emotion:
And last but not least, a snippet from one of the opera scenes:
