3. In what ways are they similar
Beijing Opera
Beijing Opera
Beijing Opera is a kind of Chinese opera which arose in the mid-19th century and was extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty court. It is widely regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.
Although it is called Peking Opera, its origins are in the Chinese provinces of Anhui and Hubei.
Peking Opera’s two main melodies: xipi and erhuang originated from Anhui and Hubei operas. Much dialogue is also carried out in an archaic dialect originating partially from those regions. It is also absorbed music and arias from other operas and musical arts such as the historic Qingqiang as well as being very strongly influenced by Kunqu, the form that preceded it as court art.
It is regareded that Peking Opera was born when the Four Great Anhui Troupes came to
Beijing in 1790. Peking Opera was originally staged for the court and came into the pulic later. In 1828, some famous Hubei troupes came to Beijing. They often jointly performed in the stage with Anhui troupes. The combination gradually formed Peking Opera’s main melodies.
Definition: Cross Talk is a comic dialogue, characterized by two actors, humorously talking back and forth; the contents of this performance always include jokes and funny dialogues to amuse the audience.
Crosstalk
Types of cross talk:
The general principle distinguishing different types of cross talk is the number of performers involved.
Monologue comic talk only involves one performer on the stage. Jokes and speeches are the main styles.
Comic cross talk engages two performers to communicate with each other. One is the comic who delivers the lines that make the audiences laugh while the other one plays a supportive role to carry on the dialogue.
Group cross talk refers to a performance with more than two people involved. This is usually a dialogue among the actors, presented more or less as a depiction of the Beijing people’s leisure activities.
