What will be an ideal response?
• "Narrative forms in China range from story-telling with little or no musical setting to fully staged opera with large amounts of singing and acrobatics, and there are now several hundred distinct traditions across the whole of China."
• Worlds of Music will compare two narrative forms, jingju (Beijing opera) and Suzhou tanci (Suzhou ballad-singing). "The two genres selected illustrate the great range within this broad category."
