What I feel about opera
Yah, recently, a Dutch designer contacted me through a forum for some quotes on opera and I wrote him a rather long email about it. I think I will post the email here.
I was not borned with an interest in chinese opera. Iused to think that Chinese opera is irritating withall those noisy percussion and high pitched screechingvoice.
Initially I took up opera just to know how I look likewith the make up and costume but I do not have theslightest interest in it. However, after one performance, I start to miss thescreeching voice and the noisy percussion. Now, Opera is part of my life.
My teacher once told me,"You are so crazy,I think youmust be an opera actress in your previous life."
Chinese opera is so beautiful. each movement, eachgesture, each note sang is a beautiful artwork nuturedby the rich culture of China.
My friend also told me," I am so happy to know someoneso passionate about her own form of art."
You know, being an amateur opera actress makes youdifferent from other people. Some people might look upat you but there are also people who look down on you.I do have a friend who told me that I am wasting mytime and youth doing such meaningless things. Doesshopping, movies and pubbing NOT wasting time andyouth?
If one day Chinese Opera ceased to exist, my worldwill be in black and white.
Chinese opera gave me confidence, gave me the happiestmoments in my life and let me realise that I exist forChinese Opera.
If there is next life, I want to be a professional full-time opera actress.
Anybody wish to give your sincere opinions on Chinese opera? Feel free to do so.
