Characteristics

Huangmei Opera features folk songs that are graceful and sweet-sounding. Three types of music are used: coloratura(花腔 ), character songs and basic tunes. The 104 coloratura tunes are taken from folk songs, teapicking songs and other ditties. Since Huangmei Opera music is light and lyrical, a good performer must be skilled in performing such a style.
