Abstract. The article examines a unique form of the traditional Chinese drama - opera of the Sichuan province, or the Sichuan opera. It differs cardinally from the world-famous Peking opera and other local forms of opera art. The Sichuan opera has its own aesthetics, technique and school of singing, but its basic heritage is a unique musical style, which combines original singing in high register (gaoqiang) to the accompaniment of percussion instruments (luogu jing) with vocal and choral recital (banqiang). The author analyses the features of the vocal stylistics of the Sichuan opera, describes percussion instruments in detail and presents types of choral commenting used in the opera.
Key words and phrases: китайская традиционная драма, региональная специфика, Сычуаньская опера, высокие напевы гаоцян, вокально-хоровое комментирование, аккомпанемент ударных инструментов логуцзинь, traditional Chinese drama, regional specificity, Sichuan opera, high tunes gaoqiang, vocal and choral recital, accompaniment of percussion instruments (luogu jing)
