Adapted from Lu Xun’s novel,opera Shang Shi (meaning“grieve over the deceased”)is the musical creation of composer Shi Guangnan to mark the 100th birthday of the novelist. Besides laying a milestone in the journey of China’s national opera production,it represents China’s operation creation in many ways. In the opera,Zijun,the heroine,has three love arias composed and sung in the western styles. These characteristics,combined with other techniques,such as chorus lead,duo and other common expression forms in opera,are highly effective to make this opera expressive,dramatic and symbolic of the 1920s and 1930s operas.
