Artistic & Historical Background:  Listen
The Chinese Hebei Clapper Opera, also known as Wudan Garment Opera, is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the northern province of Hebei.
It is characterized by its unique vocal style, which involves a high-pitched and nasal singing technique called "clapper" or "wudan."
The performers wear elaborate costumes and headdresses, with the most famous being the Madam White Snake costume.
The Madam White Snake costume is a symbol of beauty and grace, with its flowing white silk fabric and intricate embroidery.
It is often worn by female performers during performances of the story of the White Snake, which tells the tale of a woman who transforms into a snake and falls in love with a mortal man.
The Hebei Clapper Opera has a rich history dating back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), when it was popular among the upper class.
It has since evolved over time, incorporating elements from other forms of Chinese opera such as Beijing Opera and Kunqu Opera.
Today, it continues to be performed in various parts of China and around the world, showcasing the beauty and cultural significance of this ancient art form.
