Understanding ideas
Look at the pictures of two performances and talk about their differences and similarities. Consider the following:
orchestra
costumes and masks
stage set
performers’ movements
Opera
Peking Opera
Chinese traditional instruments
more colourful
more exaggerated
Facts about Peking Opera
It combines music, vocal performance, mime (手势), dance and acrobatics(杂技，杂耍)；the instruments include jinghu and erhu.
Facial make-up（mask）is very important; the costumes are graceful, elegant (优雅的) and brilliant in color and design. They both tell a character’s sex（性别） and status（身份地位）at first glance.
3. Stages are square platforms exposed to the audience on three sides with very few props（道具）on the stage.
4. Dance movements and acrobatic（杂技）movements are basic skills.
5. Peking Opera has four kinds of roles according to different identities and personalities. Actors play one of four roles: sheng, male roles; dan, female roles; chou, clown roles and jing roles with brightly-painted face masks. Each role has its own singing and acting styles.
Facts about western opera
Everything is sung instead of being spoken.
It combines a number of performing arts, such as acting, scenery, costume, and sometimes dance or ballet.
The singers are on the stage. The orchestra is in front of the stage but lower down in the pit（凹陷处）.
When
Hamlet meets Peking
Opera
Please read the passage to find what each paragraph mainly talks about.
I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet. As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects, I have to! Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English. Almost everybody knows “To be, or not to be”, right Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of confidence - until the Peking Opera came to town!
I was confident I knew a lot about Hamlet.
Dating back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history. Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand To find out the answer, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan - the Peking Opera version of Hamlet.
I went to see The Revenge of Prince Zidan—
the Peking Opera version of Hamlet.
Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments, the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears. At first, I thought what I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu. Then, seeing the main characters come on stage, I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing. The performers of course sang in Chinese, but the music, exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings across to the audience.
The voices themselves sounded really unique - some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a decorated whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study. Using such techniques, the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe.
The performance of The Revenge of Prince
Zidan was wonderful.
Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage. I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before! That was simply incredible. It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure if the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping.
My favorite part of the show was the characters’ backflip.
Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it. But, in fact, I was on the edge of my seat! Feeling the strong emotions of love, anger, fear and grief in the performance, I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet. So, if you want to see a show that combines music, singing, drama, poetry and costume design with explosive effect, The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes!
I felt the strong emotions of the performance.
