The "Breaking the Cocoon" and "Metamorphosis" of Lü Opera Singing Style in the Modern Context
Abstract
Modern Lü Opera has achieved a qualitative leap in singing techniques and expressiveness. Performers not only skillfully employ vibrato, making the voice as delicate and flowing as silk, but also enhance breath control, infusing each phrase with power and emotion. At the same time, they ingeniously integrate resonance techniques, rendering the sound fuller, more rounded, and penetrating. The flexible mastery of dynamic shading and the natural variation of timbre further enhance the emotional appeal of the singing, aligning the voice seamlessly with the character's emotions in a nuanced manner. The exquisite application of these techniques not only elevates the realism and immersion of the drama but also allows the audience to experience the unique charm of Lü Opera, injecting new vitality into its inheritance and development.
