Kunqu Opera
Description
Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest operas in China and a treasure of traditional Chinese culture and art. Kunqu Opera was born in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, China in the mid-14th century. With a history of more than 600 years, Kunqu Opera has inspired and nurtured many local operas, so it is called "the mother of all operas". Kunqu Opera was listed by UNESCO as a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" in 2001.
The most attractive thing about Kunqu Opera is two points. First, it is highly literary. Audiences who love classical literature will easily understand the beauty and elegance of Kunqu Opera. The second point is that the performance of Kunqu Opera is comprehensive and well-rounded, combining poetry, singing, dancing and drama.
