What to appreciate when watching an opera?
The performance, music, set and story.
A: What did you think of the New Year’s concert?
B: Although I don’t usually listen to classical music, I really enjoy it. I had never seen a symphony orchestra before! The members of the orchestra were highly skilled musicians. They looked very serious at first, but they were clearly having lots of fun when they played the fast pieces.
A: What pieces did they play?
Have you attended or watched any musical performance, such as a concert, a musical or an opera? In pairs, talk about your experiences. Use the example below to help you and pay attention to the expressions in bold.

B: The theme of the concert was “French composers”. They began with a piece by Claude Debussy called La Mer. It’s about the sea, and I felt as if I were out on the sea when listening.
A: Interesting. What else did they play?
B:The second piece was called Bolero, and it was composed by Maurice Ravel. The beginning of the piece was very simple: all I could hear was a drum beating out a steady rhythm. After a short while, the drum was joined by a flute. I thought it was boring at first because they kept playing the same melody over and over. However, the music gradually became louder and louder, and the ending was incredibly powerful!
Speaking
A: Wow, that sounds amazing. What did you like best about the concert?
B: The last piece they played! It was from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. That was really exciting and everyone at the concert loved it!

Kun Opera: a short introduction
Kun opera is an artistic and elegant form of traditional Chinese drama. It is one of the oldest forms of opera still performed today and is our national treasure. It started in the late Yuan Dynasty and developed during the early Ming Dynasty, in the area around Kunshan, Suzhou.
Sample
What makes the style unique is its smoothly flowing melodies, and Kun Opera is considerably softer than Beijing Opera. The tempo is slow, and brings to mind gentle waves on a lake. Another unique feature is that it is sung in a special stage dialect, based on the local dialect in Kunshan. The lyrics are similar to classical Chinese poetry.
The Peony Pavilion, first performed around 1599, is perhaps the most famous piece. It was written by the playwright Tang Xianzu, and tells the story of the 16-year-old girl Du Liniang who falls in love with the scholar Liu Mengmei in a dream. Other famous pieces include The peach Blossom Fan, The Palace of Long Life, The Western Mansion and The Legend of the White Snake.
Kun Opera dominated Chinese theatre from the 16th to the 18th century and has influenced many other Chinese theatre forms, including Sichuan Opera and Beijing Opera. In 2001, UNESCO listed Kun Opera among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
To summarize, Kun Opera is a unique style of music with a long history. It is closely connected with Chinese literature and has played an important part in traditional Chinese culture.
