to be able to use the voice in this way is truly amazing and an ode to their dedication. leaves hope for humanity, let's keep traditional culture alive, as culture in the United States is not what it could be, we all can change that. Peace and Love.
I saw Kunqu Chinese Opera live in a Beijing theatre five years ago, I don’t speak Mandarin but the storyline was evident from the acting, together with English subtitles above the stage
Kunqu isn't performed in Mandarin/ Putonghua (modern Standard Chinese based on the Beijing dialect). Kun opera is from Eastern China, where they speak Wu Chinese. Shanghainese is the most well known dialect of Wu, & Kun opera originated in Kunshan (Kun mountain) near Suzhou so the pronunciation is more like classical Suzhounese, which is also vastly different from contemporary spoken languages like Shanghainese/ Suzhounese/ Ningbonese. Some characters also approximate a Beijing accent, so you can say it's Suzhounese-accented Mandarin. LOL yeah it's confusing even for Chinese.
Estamos tão acostumados com a cultura europeia que chega a ser assustador. Nem parece que existe outro tipo de ópera além da Italiana. E eu adorei isso num nível absurdo! 😄🐲🌷
comparing turandot and madame butterfly (which btw is japanese not chinese) to cinese operas such as the peony pavillion is like comparing taco bell or chile's to authentic mexican cuisine. while both operas are excellent, both were written by non-asians with a marginal understanding of asian culture unlike peony pavillion. there's no comparison
Maybe it's cause I grew up forced listening to this (and as a result hated it with a passion) but I really don't like the screeching cat singing/talking which I don't understand how anyone can understand. The acting and movements are amazing though.
So sorry that you had such despotic parents who forced you to listen something that's so beautiful but totally foreign to you. I'm pretty sure most of the 1.4 billion Chinese people do understand and appreciate 崑曲.
Sure JuJu It's part of my culture but it's not my favorite part. Something that my grandparents' and parents' generation would prefer and favor. I think most Chinese people in my generation would feel the same way. Sorry if it seemed like I was insulting it but I think after spending an entire childhood having it blasted in the car with my parents singing along off key, I lost my ability to appreciate it.
Sure JuJu So...I'm not Chinese in your eyes because I fail to appreciate every part of my culture? The I might as well mention that I also hate the poisoned baby formulas, the people ignoring a kid run over by cars, and the forced eviction of farmers. What about the one child policy that left thousands of deformed, female, and mentally handicapped babies abandoned? Mao's screwing over of EVERYONE in his "great" leap forward. The blatant attitudes racism towards non-Chinese. Tienanmen Square. Bad pollution and child beggars. Footbinding and not even letting unmarried girls be seen by visitors. I love being Chinese but if you think you have to blindly accept everything in your culture to be proud of who you are, I feel most sorry for you.
Sure JuJu At the risk of offending you further, I also hate the 二胡 cause my father used to practice it every night for hours...which isn't bad in itself but he was a poor student and made a mistake every other note.

Yeah, is so sad that this kind of art is unaccessible in some countries
meu sonho ver no brasil tbm
這已經是好幾年前的戲了，歷經兩三百場的公演，牡丹亭已經是沈丰英生命中不可磨滅的青春印記，經過這段歷練，沈丰英不但名利雙收，藝術造詣已非當年可同日而語，人生的際遇稍縱即逝，有時卻深深地影響了一個人的命運。
Chain Leigh 最近看她在歌劇院的演出，覺得更有風韻，比幾年前的演出更加特色
最近？沈丰英不是定居香港不唱戏了吗
@@ivatsui6987 真的吗？消息可靠吗？
I really don't know why, but this is so precious to me. Thank you for posting it
So much better when I understand :3
Thanks for the subtitles !

Turandot is set in China, not Japan
LAWL.
@@MichaelChong100 i think he is referring to butterfly
Thank you so much for this video!
在藝術上我只抱住欣賞的態度，不搞分岐及政治化，互相欣賞才是王道🥰
音質感~~~超立體、傳神！
必须点赞
Its just so beautiful!
Amazing song and beautiful
Absolutely beautiful
1:15 is the same as from the film Farewell my Concubine!
spot on sir!
@ethericalzen Shen, Fengying is the leading actress
je l'adore
Hen piou liang!!!
1699 桃花扇有中英文字幕
This is perfect
红楼梦 英语版把鸳鸯翻译成wild duck
笑死..
Could someone possibly tell me the name of the actresses performing this scene? In particular, I'm curious who is playing lead. Thanks!
EthericalZen 单雯。shanwen
+imo Choi (yyblessing) It's not her.
沈丰英 shen fengying
还有人知道其它带英文字幕的昆曲唱段吗？想安利给我朋友，只找到青春版牡丹亭……
Shuyi Liu 如果去南京兰苑看现场，都是有英文的😁
之前看上昆全本牡丹亭 沈昳丽黎安（好多年前了） 也是配英文字幕的
如果你就是想看英文翻譯的話可以考慮Cyril Birch 的英譯全本《牡丹亭》，有各个唱段，不過那不是演出的版本。
春香的名字，就直接 chunxiang 好了，还spring fragrance， 哈哈哈哈
😍👏💓
Homework lol
基本上只听清了小姐～～～
我以為要唱英文的，結果是英文字幕
hhh 你是魔鬼吗
I was referring to madame butterfly being japanese, not turandot; i know turandot is set in china
怎么感觉杜丽娘好像不怎么在状态啊？
同感，不入戏的感觉，就好像只是在唱，在走台
唱得一般
turandot is about China, not Japan

还是梅兰芳大师唱的最好。这个唱得有气无力。难听。
No need for Puccini to worry yet.
这哪是富家小姐娇羞怀春 更像青楼里熟女挑逗顾客
