1 What theatres are mentioned in the video
The Deheyuan Grand Theatre and the Globe Theatre.
2 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
1
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
Read the passage and find out what aspects of Peking Opera most impressed the author.

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 few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of confidence - until the Peking Opera came to town!
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.
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.
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.
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!
