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.
When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA
The Revenge of Prince Zidan
京剧版《王子复仇记》以中国化的形式把原著背景从丹麦搬到中国古代一个虚拟的“赤诚国”。剧中人物分别以中国姓氏命名:子丹(哈姆雷特)、姜戎(乔德鲁特)、殷缡(奥菲莉亚)等。剧情保留哈姆雷特复仇的主线和心理变化,剧中关于“生存还是毁灭,这是个问题”等经典独白也未作删改,保持戏剧框架的原貌,为唱、念、做、打提供足够的空间。
