Living Heritage：Kunqu
Melodious, exquisite and sentimental. These romantic features make Kunqu Opera one of the most loved art forms in China.
Born in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu province, Kunqu Opera distinguished itself by the virtuosity of its rhythmic patterns and became widely popular during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). During the Md-Autumn festival in Ming and Qing dynasties (1644-1911), opera troupes often gathered in Suzhou, staging theatrical extravaganzas in ancient China.
Combining songs performed in the Suzhou dialect, graceful body movements, martial arts and dance, Kunqu Opera uses an endless variety of movements to express specific emotions. It also pays meticulous attention to each nuance. Graceful movements animate the fingertips, and unique melodies evoke a rich and poetic world.
Kunqu Opera exerted a dominant influence on many forms of opera in China theater, including Peking Opera, which is about 200 years old. It is hence known as the mother of all Chinese operas.
As an authentic embodiment of Chinese culture, stories performed in Kunqu Opera have transcended time and space. The Peony Pavilion, written by playwright Tang Xianzu, who is often compared to Shakespeare, is still loved by fans from around the world.
