Taiwanese Opera (台灣歌仔戲) について・・・
Taiwanese Opera is a very distinct part of Taiwan's culture, and it is also the only dramatic form to have developed entirely on the island of Taiwan. With a history of more than a century, the art traces its roots back to the countryside when farmers were able to take a break from their labors and enjoy a bit of entertainment. Emerging from the shadow of other popular forms of entertainment like Peking Opera, Gao-jia Opera, Beiguan and Nanguan and New Opera, it has grown to be a full form of artistic expression in its own right in Taiwan.
