Answer:
|
Kunqu opera is known as the ancestor of a hundred of Chinese operas and has now been listed by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as fine specimens of Oral and Non-material Heritage of All Humanity in May 2001.
It is one of the earliest forms of traditional Chinese drama, having a history of more than 600 years. It is a comprehensive performance comprising all stage factors: literature, music, dancing, acting, costumes, make-up, props, setting etc. The most prominent characteristic of Kunqu performance is its lyricism, where the posture of each role is in a dancing mode. Its value as a cultural heritage is embodied in a wide cultural scope.
