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 jingbu. 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.
Surprised
He heard new sound from the Chinese instrument.
The costumes and masks were amazing.
