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!

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 whip16 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.
