昆曲起源于元朝時(shí)的昆山，盛行于蘇州。昆曲的音樂典雅華麗，唱詞具有極高的文學(xué)性，表演程式繁復(fù)細(xì)致，最適合在私家園林表演。當(dāng)時(shí)，蘇州的大富之家都養(yǎng)著自己的戲班，在私家園林里建戲臺。昆曲的著名作品，如《牡丹亭》《西廂記》和《長生殿》等，都把主要情節(jié)安排在園林里展開。一位美國學(xué)者這樣贊嘆昆曲：“在最美的舞臺上進(jìn)行著最美的表演。”
Kun Opera originated in Kunshan during the Yuan Dynasty and flourished in Suzhou. The music of Kun Opera is beautifully refined and the lyrics are highly literary in nature. The performance is of a complicated and intricate style. And Kun Opera is best suited to being performed in the private gardens. At that time, the extremely wealthy families in Suzhou patronized their own opera troupes and used their private gardens to stage the performances. The most famous works of Kun Opera include The Peony Pavilion and The Changsheng Palace, whose main plots were set in the gardens. An American scholar once commented that, “Kun Opera is the most beautiful performance which takes place on the most beautiful stage.”
