A
Peking Opera is a form of Chinese opera which arose in the late 18th century. It became quite popular in the mid-19th century and is now regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. The art form has also been introduced to other countries such as the US and Japan, influencing the development of the opera there from some perspectives.
There are four major categories of roles in Peking Opera, and each category contains various subcategories. On the stage, the performers combine different skills together in one play, including singing, dancing, and combating in symbolic and suggestive movements. They also hold a variety of stylistic conventions that help audiences follow and understand the plot. The layers of meaning within each movement are expressed in time with the music. The melodies of Peking Opera can be divided into two main categories, namely xipi and erhuang. Melodies include arias (唱腔), fixed-tune melodies and percussion patterns. There are over thousands of works in the complete collection of Peking Opera, which are based on Chinese history, culture, folklore, and, increasingly, contemporary life. Many of them, however, are no longer performed on stage.
In recent years, there have been various reforms to Peking Opera in order to attract a wider young audience to the theatre. Such attempts include improving performance quality, adopting new performance elements, and performing new and original plays, and the outcome is quite promising.
