Hey everyone, I hope you had a weekend which brought one or the other interesting experience into your life! In my new post I would like to share a unique experience I had in China.
When it comes to operas, China is very high up and there are numerous different styles that differ from each other due to different characteristics or regions and the form I have visited is one of the oldest forms. Kunqu opera is extremely diverse and stands out from other forms of performance by the various influences and here visitors can admire influences of music, poetry, dance, drama or more and it can also be described as an important precursor for other styles. Kunqu already has a centuries-long history behind it and was probably created during the Ming dynasty and it should not take long until the acceptance and popularity increased more and more and was also celebrated in other regions and it became a well-known art form which became popular with different social classes. It is a very important basis for other forms of theater and to this day the actors usually strictly follow the original values from the time of creation, which is noticeable in the structures and has a high value of recognition through the mild and high-quality playing style.
I made the experience on my last day when I was in Shanghai in the Zhujiajiao area and spontaneously got an invitation that I could not refuse. The special thing is that the performance took place outdoors and this unique experience has already started in daylight until the late evening hours and you definitely don't get to see this scenery of a garden and pavilion every day. In any case, the performance seemed very traditional or aesthetic and here the whole atmosphere was just right and I can only recommend to everyone who should visit this area to play with the idea of watching this opera or planning it so to come when the performance takes place, which is not always the case and I was lucky enough to visit this traditional opera that evening.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post! I captured these pictures and the video with my iPhone 16.

I watched the video, I loved seeing the fruit part, they climb the trees and then come down without being illuminated, the artists receive them, I loved seeing this, well everything is beautiful but this more so, I don't have many followers but I want to make your post visible, very interesting, pleasant and beautiful.
I wish you a happy start to the week
Thank you for your sign of appreciation :) It means a lot to me that you like my post and shared it, it doesn’t depend on the followers. Numbers influence people a lot, I’m thinking of homepages of certain video portals in which numbers are specifically used to influence people to create trends while other great content is often lost. So you can see how serious someone is with things or if someone is only doing it because of numbers. Happy that you helped spread this culture :) Wish you the same @lupega
That is really cool, what a great opportunity to see so much tradition. The best part is it was unplanned and it worked out so well for you. It's so interesting that they carry on the same traditions and keep them alive, whereas in other parts of the world the ways of the past tend to stay there, lost forever!

That’s right! It was a great pleasure for me and I can also show my gratitude by sharing something about it. Especially those who are interested in opera should definitely come here, quite differently than in comparison to other cultures.

The results of your mobile are quite good. I will definitely buy an iPhone one day. This place is really very memorable and we will get a lot of information by visiting here.
Mine is not the latest but it’s okay, I think it’s always the best thing to inform yourself beforehand and buy the device which is the best for your own purposes.
From daylight to evening? How long it lasted? You were lucky to get this invitation!
I find it cool on the video when it all became red
Yes :) Almost two hours, I think so too. First it was totally red and slowly the pavilion was also illuminated white, powerful light effects.
These types of places are actually where I really love to visit most of the time
Happy that I could motivate you to :)
