Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Chinese Shaoxing Opera, also known as Yue Opera, is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the 17th century.

It is characterized by its unique singing style, elaborate costumes, and intricate makeup.

The Hua Tan costume is one of the most iconic pieces of Yue Opera attire, representing the beauty and grace of women.

The Hua Tan costume consists of a long, flowing dress with a high collar and a wide skirt.

It is made of silk or other luxurious materials and often adorned with intricate embroidery and beading.

The headpiece, which is worn on top of the costume, can vary in design but typically features a large, ornate crown or headdress.

The Yue Opera Farewell Song of Da Tang is a famous piece of music from this genre that tells the story of a woman who must bid farewell to her lover before he leaves for war.

The song is sung in a hauntingly beautiful melody and has become an enduring symbol of love and loss in Chinese culture.

In addition to its musical and visual elements, Yue Opera also incorporates various performance techniques such as acrobatics, martial arts, and dance.

These skills are used to enhance the storytelling and create a dynamic and engaging experience for audiences.

Overall, Chinese Shaoxing Opera and its associated costumes and headpieces represent a rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
