What are the elements of a musical?

The five categories of script, drama poetry, music, dance and dance beauty are integrated into one, and an important form of expression with script as the cornerstone, drama poetry as the core, music as the soul and dance as the core is constructed.

Successful musical works should be not only the organic integration of script, drama poetry, music, dance and beauty, but also the organic integration of new and old: the old is the root of traditional drama style and traditional song and dance charm; Novelty, that is, the inherent method presentation and aesthetic taste of music works.

The organic integration of musicals is the touchstone of the unique personality and character of China's original music works, and grasping the "degree" in the integration is the key to the success of China's original music works.

The origin of art

As early as in ancient Greek drama, there was chorus accompaniment, and some recitations even appeared in the form of singing; In the Middle Ages, miracle dramas with religious stories as the theme and promoting religious views were also filled with incense and continued to this day. Modern western opera, which can really be called "musical", came into being at the end of16th century and the beginning of17th century with the secularization of music culture in the Renaissance.
