Performance form,

Tibetan opera performance is divided into three parts: the opening drama "Arova", the main drama "Bear" and the auspicious ending ceremony "Tashi". The opening ceremony is also called "Wimbledon" or "Jaruwimba", which is mainly to offer sacrifices to the audience, pray for exorcism and blessings, and introduce the plot. Generally speaking, there are two people present: Jaru, Wimba, and Ram. Legend has it that these three characters evolved from the characters in Qujie Lausanne. Jaru is a prince, Wimba is a fisherman or hunter, and Ram is a fairy. During the performance, Wimba wore a mask to sing and dance, and then Jia Lu led a group of fairies to sing and dance, so as to introduce the actors, explain the plot of the drama and attract the audience. Bear is the main play. First of all, "Wimbageng" (the dramatist) introduces the plot, location, environment, character modeling, lyrics and so on. Rhyme with Allegro, and then the characters come on stage. The performance time is three days and three nights, even six or seven days; As short as two or three hours, it's up to the playwright.

The form of performance is: all the actors, whether they play the role in the play or not, appear in a half circle. When it is their turn to perform, they will come out and perform, and the rest of the time will participate in chorus and dance. Its basic performance form is: first, the playwright introduces a story, then a character sings a story, then all the actors dance or perform skills together, and so on. Its performance is divided into scene and time, and the story narrator and the backup dancer actually play the role of the scene.
