What kind of opera is Kunqu Opera and what are its characteristics?

1, Kunqu opera has a beautiful linear cavity, which is characterized by lingering softness. In singing skills, we pay attention to the control of sound, the ups and downs of rhythm and speed, the articulation and pronunciation, and the complete accompaniment of the scene.

2. It has a water mill tune, which lays the foundation for the singing characteristics of Kunqu Opera, and is fully reflected in the slow tune (that is, the "fine tune") of Nanqu, which is embodied in slowing down the beat and delaying the rhythm, so as to use more decorative coloratura in the melody. The soft and euphemistic timbre increases the space and diversity of music layout, and its lingering and feminine characteristics are more and more prominent.

3. The seven-tone scale used in Kunqu Opera is different from the five-tone scale used in Nanqu Opera (there is basically no semitone). However, during the long-term absorption of Beiqu, Kunshan dialect gradually merged the original characteristics of Beiqu into a singing method of "Nanqu". Therefore, in Kunqu opera, Beiqu has both complete application and monotonous selection, and there is also a "combination of North and South".
