Roles:

The roles of the Lv Opera are divided according to the four major lines: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.

Lv Opera in the period of disguise Yangqin performance form is relatively simple. Mostly, a few people were partnered to sing some plays with simple stories and few roles. For example, "Wang Xiao Catching Feet", "The Bastard Crying for His Wife", "Three Strikes and Four Persuasions" and so on.

When they sing, they sit in a figure-eight shape, with the yangqin in the center and other instruments on either side. Each actor holds a musical instrument and sings by himself. The performers are divided into roles according to their singing skills and natural conditions. At this time, although there is already a division of labor between the roles of Sheng, Dan and Chou, there is no strict distinction between the lines. Artists call this situation "a foot, no line".

The traditional stage performances of Lü Opera were characterized by a high number of life movements and few sets of performance programs. After the 1940s, due to the influence of local operas such as Wuyin Opera, Laiwu Opera and Peking Opera, Lv Opera's performance art was enriched and improved, and the role system was improved, but it still maintains the characteristics of the main performance of the "three small operas" and the style of living performance.
