They only rehearsed for 4 hours?! That's pretty good for 4 hours of rehearsal... And to those comments below, every language has their strengths and weaknesses, and of course, people don't actually speak like that in real life: tones and voices are exaggerated.

@robinvan1983 In fact, it's very traditional.

[MinzhuZhongguo1]

@robinvan1983 It is Kunqu Opera, one of the oldest living operas in China. In fact there are hundreds of different operas with different styles in China.

@iysum The language which is used in Kunqu is not dialect but Mandarin, a kind of Suzhou style Mandarin. It is called Yubai, which is very similar with Yunbai in Beijing Opera, as Beijing Opera was influenced by Kunqu deeply. In Kunqu, the leading roles use the Suzhou style Mandarin, but some of the minors use Suzhou dialect, like Shidaogu in The Peony Pavilion.

講不過別人就罵人了,素質咧?不懂日本就少講話沒人當你是啞巴(­(菸

[redscarfwow]

@TakehikoKinomoto 你就是个SB， 日本人的歌舞姬和中国的昆曲在一起 演出，触动你个 台巴子什么神经了？

[vadertjetijd]

In light of the continuing underlying grievances of China's Tibetan

population, we again urge Chinese leaders to respect the rights of Tibetans. FREE TIBET

@TakehikoKinomoto 别老一句你们中国或者你们台湾的, 那些人代表不了全部中国人或台湾人. 就人论事, 他说错了,把歌舞伎说成是源于中国的你反驳他就是了. 再者说日本文化的确脱自中国文化, 有时候也难免会搞混一些东西. 我遇到很多美国人都以为相扑和照烧鸡是中国的. 还有是半斤八两, 不是金.

不过还是感觉昆曲和歌舞伎放在一起怪怪的

[profoundmemory]

@TakehikoKinomoto 哪里都有激进的台湾人，就连一个表演也不放过。
