4 Shaoxing Opera, the Interpretation of Romantic Love Stories As a relatively new local Chinese opera, Shaoxing Opera is popular in the southern regions of the Yangtze River. Shaoxing Opera was originated in Shaoxing region of northeastern Zhejiang Province, which belonged to the Yue State in ancient times, thus it was popularly known as Yue Opera or Yueju. With a history of 800 years, Shaoxing Opera was derived from a kind of story-singing. At first, it was performed with a small drum and hardwood clappers for rhythm. Later, choral and orchestral accompaniment was added. It drew some musical elements from other operas and subsequently formed its own characteristics. Singing is a dominant part of Shaoxing Opera, thus it is noted for the lyricism of the melodies. The tunes are sweet and beautiful while the performance is vivid and full of local flavor. As the opera has grown, its basis in reality and everyday life as well as the use of colloquial language has remained strong. Originally Shaoxing opera was only performed by males and then changed to all female performances. Gradually male and females work together. The texts of Shaoxing opera are based on romantic love stories, while acrobatics or fighting scenes are not included. In Shaoxing opera, stage properties and light effects are used and the costumes imitate the light-colored clothes, fashionable at the beginning of this century in China. Peacock Flying to the Southeast is Kongque Dongnan Fei in Chinese. This play is adapted from a Han folk song of the same time. In the late Han dynasty, Jiao Zhongqing, an official, and his wife, Liu Lanzhi, are deeply in love with each other. But Jiao's mother refuses to accept her daughter-in-law and sets a situation in which he reluctantly rejects his wife. The two promise never to remarry. Resolved not to betray Zhongqing, Lanzhi drowns herself in a river. When Zhongqing learns of this, he hangs himself. ". Continue
