Speaking: the summary of the text
Notes
costumes: fiery reds, ribbons of gold and silver, kaleidoscope of colour, used to wear bright colours to stand out in the dark

singing: unusual, strange, very sharp & high-pitched, style was ancient, like this so voices could carry over crowds

actors: didn't just sing, they did incredible acrobatics & dancing too, used their faces and whole bodies to show story and their emotions, train hard from an early age

stage props/scenery: not a lot because actors use symbols to tell the story instead

make-up: incredible, different colours to show different meanings and characteristics

Why should someone attend a Chinese opera?
