| Abstract | "This book traces the history of jingju (Beijing/Peking opera) from its origin during the 1790s to the present through three lenses. First, it introduces the stage practices that shape a jingju production, and details for the reader the practitioner's experience during the developmental creative process, in rehearsals, and behind the curtain. Second, it traces jingju's development with close analyses of case studies, and sheds light on the process of jingju's transformation into its contemporary form. And third, it defines and interprets jingju aesthetics' notion of the beautiful and how this sense of beauty is communicated through stylization"-- Provided by publisher. |
