《牡丹亭》
表演单位: 苏州昆剧院
演出：沈丰英、俞玖林
Kunqu (崑曲; pinyin: Kūnqǔ; Wade-Giles: k'un-ch'ü), also known as Kunju (崑劇), Kun opera or Kunqu Opera, is one of the oldest extant forms of Chinese opera. It evolved from the Kunshan melody, and dominated Chinese theatre from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The style originated in the Wu cultural area. It is listed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2001.
The Peony Pavilion (Chinese: 牡丹亭; pinyin: mǔdāntíng) is a play written by Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty and first performed in 1598 at the Pavilion of Prince Teng. One of Tang's "Four Dreams", it has traditionally been performed as a Kunqu (昆曲/崑曲) opera, but Chuan (川) and Gan (赣/贛) opera versions also exist. It is the most popular play of the Ming Dynasty, and is the primary showcase of the guimendan (闺门旦/閨門旦) role type.[citation needed] All Kun theatre troupes include it in their repertoire. Recent adaptations have sought to inject new life into one of China's best-loved classical operas, though such efforts have met with opposition from the Kun opera traditionalists.
Plot
The performance tradition has focused on the love story between Du Liniang (杜丽娘/杜麗娘) and Liu Mengmei (柳梦梅/柳夢梅), but its original text (standard translation: Cyril Birch) also contains subplots pertaining to the falling Song Dynasty's defense against the aggression of the Jin Dynasty.
It is the last days of the Southern Song Dynasty. On a fine Spring day, a maid persuades Du Liniang, the sixteen-year-old daughter of an important official, Du Bao, to take a walk in the garden, where she falls asleep. In Du Liniang's dream she encounters a young scholar, identified later in the play as Liu Mengmei, whom in real life she has never met. Liu's bold advances starts off a flaming romance between the two and it flourishes rapidly. Du Liniang's dream is interrupted by a flower petal falling on her, according to her soliloquy recounting the incident in a later act: (Reflection on the lost dream). Du Liniang, however, becomes preoccupied with her dream affair and her lovesickness quickly consumes her. Unable to recover from her fixation, Du Liniang wastes away and dies.
The president of the underworld adjudicates that a marriage between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei is predestined and Du Liniang ought to return to the earthly world. Du Liniang appears to Liu Mengmei in his dreams. He now inhabits the same garden where Du Liniang had her fatal dream. Once recognising that Du Bao's deceased daughter is the lady who appears in his dreams, Liu agrees to exhume her upon her request and Du Liniang is brought back to life. Liu visits Du Bao and informs him of his daughter's resurrection. However, Liu is imprisoned for being a grave robber and an impostor. The ending of the play follows the formula of many Chinese comedies. Liu Mengmei narrowly escapes death by torture thanks to the arrival of the results of the imperial examination in which Liu has topped the list. The emperor pardons all.
This is only a broad outline of the plot of an opera which typically runs for 20 hours.
Divine vocals and setting. Garden adds so much dimension and is a delight for one's eyes.
many thanks for your comments.
Imagine being a girl from the hood and absolutely adoring ancient Chinese opera.
ughhhhhhh meeeeee
Prior to the 21st Century most of the opera was performed by male performers only. There is some discrimination against women back then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_role

Coming here after finishing mihoyo new quest.
有無法子重建清明上河圖中部份景觀....譜曲? 藝術價值,意義非凡........
nova Jerel 清明上河园已经重建，在开封。有空的时候可以去参观。
實境式表演是很不錯的方式，可惜，鏡頭忽遠忽近，剪輯得片段零碎，眼睛都看暈了。
It's creepy and cool
Sofia Garcia Sure, because a part of it is a ghost story
@@cjkuo2457 yea the girl dies but then comes back to life when her lover from her dreams comes to find her
many thanks for your comments.
no need to set up a real view on the platform. one of the significant features of Kun Opera is performing without too many external tools (virtual acting)
In those times god was among as.
蠻有創意的轉景式表演藝術..............
感谢您的喜爱
英文翻译不能只停留在题目呀，站在外国人的立场上，不能边听边了解意思真的太难受了
Legal
Chinese ways.
many thanks for your comments.
场景一旦实物化，中国戏曲的韵味就消失了一半了。这么搞得的人绝对是肤浅没水平的
