Traditional Chinese theater is a spectacle of vivid, unusual performances, bright costumes, surprising masks, and a whole gallery of characters who could appear only on Chinese stages.
The author tells you about everything little by little: how theatrical art began, how different kinds of operas emerged (Beijing, Sichuan, and others), what roles actors play, what skills they must master, and what attributes are hidden in special chests. You’ll also learn about the most famous productions and actors of traditional Chinese theater.
The edition is intended for a wide range of readers.
