What is Kunqu?—by Hans H. Frankel
Kunqu is a form of Chinese musical drama. But it is more than just drama: it is a combination of play, opera, ballet, poetry recital, and musical recital. It also draws on earlier forms of Chinese theatrical performances: mime, farce, acrobatics, ballad recital, and medley, some of which go back to the third century BC or even earlier. It is first and foremost a performing art: people come to see and hear a performance. The plot is usually familiar to the audience, or else made available through a prose summary. In the performance of Kunqu three media work simultaneously and in harmony: words, music and dance.
