Ningbo's opera is what drama

Ningbo's theater is Yongju opera.

Ningbo Opera is a local traditional theater in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, sung in Ningbo dialect, and is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. The music and voice of Ningbo Opera belongs to the tandem spring. After 1938, this type of opera was officially called "Yongju" or "Improved Yongju". The performance style of Yong Opera is exaggerated and humorous, and it is good at expressing real and subtle emotions. Yong Opera has gone through an evolutionary process from acting in Qing Dynasty costumes to acting in cheongsam suits, and is good at acting in modern operas, obtaining creative materials directly from social life, and focusing on lifelike performances. On June 7, 2008, Yong Opera was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, No. Ⅳ-107, which shows that Yong Opera has an important position in Chinese traditional culture and has been valued and protected by the government and the society. As an intangible cultural heritage, Yongju Opera is not only an important part of Chinese opera culture, but also one of the most important representatives of the cultural tradition of Ningbo area. The protection and inheritance of Ningbo Opera is of great significance to carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and promote the prosperity of local culture.
