I got up early today. My grandma and mother are going to take me to the "Gusu Shuimodiao" children's Kunqu opera brand summer training class jointly organized by the Yangtze Evening News and the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theater of Jiangsu Province. Last summer, I first came into contact with Kunqu Opera at the Suzhou Kun Opera Theater. Grandma said that Kun Opera has a history of more than 600 years, which is a very old age for me at the age of five.
We took the subway and the bus (my mother said this is a green travel), and then went to Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theater. I was the first child to arrive. Not long after, other children also arrived. I also saw Teacher Yang Han, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. Teacher Yang led us to visit the Kunqu Opera Theatre. The Kunqu Opera Theater is so big, with rooms one after another, and many glass showcases .
I saw a lot of beautiful costumes. Teacher Yang said that some clothes were worn by generals in ancient times, and some clothes were worn by princesses in ancient times... I also saw a variety of beautiful headdresses, including There were two long whip-like things on one of the headdresses. I thought I would look very impressive if I wore them.
Kunqu Opera Theater has a large room, very big, with many brown chairs and a stage. I remembered that I performed "The Matchmaker" on this stage last year. My mother, grandma and grandma were all watching in the audience and applauded me. I also want to perform on it this year.
Later, Teacher Yang took us to a classroom. I introduced myself to everyone and performed "Huan Sha Ji·Dai Wai·Drunken Peace" for everyone. I met Hou Jiamin, a child who learned Kunqu Opera with me last year, and also met many new children. I was very happy.
In the training class, Teacher Yang taught us to sing "How can we know the beauty of spring unless we go to the garden", and also taught us to perform orchid fingers . I found it very interesting. After a while, we ended the get out of class. After class, I was interviewed by my sister, a reporter from the Yangtze Evening News. I performed all the singing I learned today to my sister, and she praised me for my great performance. I am very happy.
I look forward to continuing to learn Kun Opera with Teacher Yang next time with the children.
