Xi Qu (or traditional Chinese Opera) music plays a unique role in the preservation, innovation and development of traditional operas. As stories unfold in traditional operas, music of gongs, drums, stringed instruments and flutes can reinforce different role types’ singing, reciting, acting and acrobatic fighting. Not merely accompaniment, wenwuchang (literally civil and martial scenes), or traditional opera music ensembles, are an essential element in traditional operas. The Department is dedicated to preserving the traditional performing arts and culture, and cultivating music performers for traditional operas. It also nurtures talents with great sense of humanism and international perspective, blending tradition and modern, in order to face the contemporary performing arts environment.
