Introduction
One leading expert has made a brilliant comment on Beijing opera: On the Beijing opera stage, every human sound uttered is song, and every movement is dance; realism is taboo and real life objects are banned. The Chinese Beijing opera is a unique theatrical form of great literary and artistic value. However, it is foreign to most Westerners, and the world of Beijing opera is still shrouded in mystery.
This book examines the various aspects of Beijing opera in detail. The author presents a dizzying array of details that only an experienced opera-goer can spot: themes and stories, characters, movement, makeup, props, action, voice, music, etc. This book provides the definite guide to what is arguably the pinnacle of Chinese performance art.
