What are the representative operas in Zhejiang?

The representative operas in Zhejiang are Yue Opera, Shao Opera and Wu Opera. Details are as follows:

1, Yue Opera

Yue Opera used to be a popular rap form in Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province. In the spring of the thirty-second year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1906), it began to evolve into a form of traditional Chinese opera that was performed on the grass platform in rural areas. It was once called Xiaoge Class, Dedu Class and Shaoxing Wenxi. Artists are basically male farmers who are semi-agricultural and semi-artistic, so they are called male class.

2. Shao Opera

Shao Opera, also known as "Shaoxing Random Bomb" and "Shaoxing Big Class". Popular in Shaoxing, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Shanghai, Zhejiang Province, 1953 was named Shao Opera because it was formed in Shaoxing and took Shaoxing counties as the popular center.

3. Wu Opera

Wu Opera, commonly known as Jinhua Opera. Popular in Jinhua, Quzhou, Lishui, Taizhou, Jiande, Chun 'an, Tonglu, Hangzhou, and northeast Jiangxi. Because Jinhua was called Wuzhou in ancient times, it was named Wu Opera in the autumn of 1949.

Singing Characteristics of Wu Opera

The singing of Wu Opera is not so rigorous, because it has been performed on the grass-roots team in rural areas for a long time, paying attention to the rendering of feelings and atmosphere, and not paying attention to the kung fu of articulation. Even the lyrics of some qupai have become "pop songs", which can be freely applied in various plays.

Some qupai, such as the appearance of military commanders; Adan walked around. They just performed in music and didn't sing at all. Some people think that Kunqu Opera is related to Yiyang Wushu Class, and its performance and gongs and drums are different from those of Su Kun, but close to the high-pitched tune. Dahua Hall uses "throat rolling" (focusing on the total voice of the throat, rarely using the nasal cavity), and the melody of its qupai is slightly different from that of Su Kun, with less decoration.
