Starting out
Look at the posters and answer the questions.

I am most familiar with the Chinese crosstalk show.

Henan Opera,Peking Opera,Yue Opera,Huangmei Opera,as well as sketches(小品)and talk shows,etc.

I like talk shows most. Talk show is an entertainment form in which a host talks to various celebrities,performers,or professionals about various topics,often(but not always)including jokes in their conversation.
Watch the video and answer the questions.

1 What theatres are mentioned in the video
The Deheyuan Grand Theatre and the Globe Theatre.
What are the differences between them In what ways are they similar
Differences:The Deheyuan Grand Theatre is a Chinese-style theatre built in the Qing Dynasty for the royal family, with Peking Opera as the main performance form. The theatre has three stages representing happiness,prosperity and longevity. Under the longevity stage,there is a well and five ponds. The first Globe Theatre was built in London by a group of actors including William Shakespeare. It burnt down in 1613 and was rebuilt close to the site of the original building. The theatre has a round shape and the stage area has three main elements.
Similarities:Both of the theatres have a long history. They are both specially designed for better stage effects.
Understanding ideas
How much do you know about Hamlet
author
plot

Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. Prince Hamlet is called upon by the supernatural to take revenge upon his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered his brother the king, seized the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother.
“To be, or not to be” is the opening phrase spoken by Prince Hamlet in play Hamlet, Act III, Scene I. These are possibly the most famous words in English literature and introduce Hamlet’s meditations upon life – “To be or not to be” refers to the choice to be made between dying or continuing to live.

The basic skills of Peking Opera include dance movements and special acrobatic movements while singing or reciting, which are necessary requirements mastered by all actors and actresses.
Opera (in the Western tradition)
An opera is like a play in which everything is sung instead of being spoken. It incorporates a number of the performing arts, such as acting, scenery, costume, and sometimes dance or ballet. The singers who sing and act out the story are on the stage, and the orchestra is in front of the stage but lower down, in the orchestra pit, so that the audience can see the stage.
