Unit 1 Performing Arts 2. What are the characteristics of traditional Chinese operas? Like a play, an opera is a story acted out on stage. In an opera the actors sing their lines instead of speaking them. Unlike in a musical show, opera performers usually don t speak at all. Their songs don t happen between conversations, but rather their songs are the conversations. Traditional opera tells a big story. The story is usually serious, though there are comic operas too. Many operas tell tragic tales of lovers who are kept apart. Richard Wagner s Tristan and Isolde is one of these. Some operas, like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart s The Magic Flute tell a story of mystery. Comic operas, such as Gioacchino Rossini s The Barber of Seville, often feature funny situations and people. Classic operas are usually performed in the language they were written in. Today, if the audience doesn t speak the language of the opera, the opera company may show the singers words in the audience s language on a screen above the stage. But today s opera composers continue the dramatic spirit of classic opera, even though their topics have changed. A special form of opera developed in China during the Mid-19th century. It is called jingxi, a spectacular musical and dramatic show, and English speakers know it as Peking opera. Its performers use movements to portray their characters. The rhythmic beating marks time for movements and the performance may feature fighting scenes. In addition to its presence in Mainland China, Peking opera has spread to many other places. It can be found in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities elsewhere. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous Dan performers of all time, was also one of the greatest stars of Peking opera abroad. Although some believed that Peking opera could never be a success in the United States, the great reception of Mei in New York City disproved this notion. The performances had to be removed from the 49th Street Theater to the larger National Theater. 5
