According to recent statistics, there are 317 kinds of traditional classic
opéras in China. Although they greatly differ in their music and even
the language they use in the fields of the stage structure, props, stage
costume and make-up they are basically the samé; none of them use any
scenery.
For this exhibition we have selected some stage costumes, masks patterns
of the make-up from the well known Peking opera and other traditional
opéras. This stage art was created by unknown folk artists in embroidery
and by players during the past hundred years.
Modern Chinese stage art first appeared in 1907, but it was Europeanized
and Japanized. From then until 1949, spoken drama and Europeanized
opera were extremely different from the traditional opera. But the great
development of the modern stage art has occured only since the founding
of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The Chinese Government
invested large sums of money to build and rebuild theatres, and now
all theatrical groups have professional stage designers of their own. In
order to train more able people, stage art departments were set up at
the universities of Peking and Shanghai. With more and more international
cultural exchange and various theatrical performances taking
pláce, since 1976 stage art has become more varied. But before 1975,
the form ušed was basically only realistic.
By looking at our exhibits, you can see how the style of our various
performances has changed. We are only beginning to adopt varied and
different methods and styles, from the realistic to the abstract.
