The world these days moves so fast that it's hard to keep up. We are increasingly consumed by the hectic world. It has been a long time since we last enjoyed a bit of traditional opera.
Every nation has its own cultural treasures. Italy is the birthplace of opera, and Ouju Opera is Wenzhou's local opera. Although Wenzhou and Rome are far away from each other, they share a special bond through opera. The video above unveils the curtain of Italian Opera and Ouju Opera.
Italian Opera and Ouju Opera have a marvelous connection: Li Yang, a young Chinese soprano in Italy, sang Chinese songs in Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, while Anna, a young Russian, built a deep bond with Ouju Opera.
The make-up of Ouju Opera is the best part of the performance. To gain a deep understanding of Ouju Opera, Anna came to the opera troupe for a make-up session which lasted at least two hours. With the exquisite make-up, Anna immersed herself into the operatic role.
Different from the more lyrical Ouju Opera, drowning in the spectacular Italian Opera is another kind of enjoyment. Li illustrates her love to the motherland from thousands of miles away with her favorite songs in Rome Opera.
Anna diligently learned to perform Ouju Opera under the guidance of Cai Xiaoqiu, the director of the Wenzhou Ouju Opera troupe. The fusion of cultures and arts has been deeply rooted in people's minds.
After watching this video, will you be touched by this gorgeous encounter between Ouju Opera and Italian Opera?
