Abstract

As an artistic form combining Western music culture and local culture, Chinese operas have gone through a tough way in its development for less than one hundred years. Until today, against the background of the glorious history of European and Western operas, China’s national opera is making indomitable progress and innovation with its tender pace. Herein, part of the typical operas is worthy our careful scrutiny, especially the attention of our vocal music professionals. As is known to all that it is the fundamental task of opera performance to create stage images with flesh and blood, and there is no opera without images. Taking different types of temperament as the basis for division, this paper analyzes the creation of typical female images in Chinese operas, and elaborates on the contrast of singing styles to the creation of images while focusing on analyzing the singing part of several representative females in operas.
