Facts about western opera
An opera is like a play in which everything is sung instead of being spoken. It combines 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(乐池), so that the audience can see the stage.
William Shakespeare （1564—1616）is regarded as the greatest playwright of all time.
Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. Prince Hamlet takes revenge on his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered the king, Hamlet’s father, seized the throne （王位）and married Hamlet’s mother.
When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA
1 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!
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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!
