- W4387029293 abstract "This chapter discusses Chinese idealization of kunqu as a heavenly opera, explains its virtuoso performance practices and materials, and analyzes three scenes from the <italic>Palace of Everlasting Life</italic> (<italic>Changsheng dian</italic>) as representative shows of kunqu performance and expressive excellence. Kunqu practitioners cherish the genre for its dramatic telling of Chinese stories and for its actor-singers’ dedicated pursuit of performative excellence. Continuously, they fine-tune their creative skills of writing literary libretti, composing and performing ornate vocal and instrumental music, choreographing visually elegant and kinetically informative <italic>shenduan</italic> (bodily actions/dances), designing dramatically meaningful make-up and costumes and stage props, and promoting the genre with verifiable facts and promotional claims. A prime example of kunqu expressive and performative excellence is Hong Sheng’s (1645-1704) <italic>Palace of Everlasting Life</italic> (<italic>Changshendian</italic>) and its many stage realizations. Since its premiere in 1688, three scenes of the opera have been popularly staged as masterpieces of kunqu performance and expression—all three are comprehensively analyzed in this chapter." @default.
