Opera

Category: China

I’d only heard a little bit about Chinese opera, and from what I heard, I suspected it wouldn’t be easily endured by my ears. Well, coming out of the subway to the environs of Mix City (can never remember the Chinese name of the exit), I heard the caterwauling of Chinese opera. The sound is most identifiable from the female – high-pitched nasal shrieks accompanied by a small orchestra of Chinese instruments. By the time I got in a good position to shoot some cheap video with my camera, the woman had finished. So, I captured a man singing…still entertaining, and easier on the ears:
