[quote=MARRIE,384905]from WiKi Shaoxing opera is a local Chinese opera popular in the southern regions of the Yangtze River. Yue opera has a history of about 800 years. It was derived from a kind of story-singing. At first, it was performed with a small drum and hardwood clappers for rhythm and later, choral and orchestral accompaniment was added. It drew some musical elements from Shao opera and subsequently formed its own characteristics. It does not use the elaborate face painting of Peking Opera. Yue opera is noted for its lyricism, and singing is dominant in it. Its tunes are sweet and beautiful and the performance vivid and full of local color. Originally Yue opera was only performed by males and then changed to all female performances. [/quote]
