I highly admired this course. Although I am Chinese, I am not that sure I would like Kunqu Opera at the beginning. At first, I learn this is because my teacher's command, but I have to say, there are so many things that surprised me that I never know that when Modern and Kunqu Opera combined together create that kind of beauty. So Chinese style, and so attractive. All those little details are matter. The arrangement of the lessons are reasonable. After understanding Kunqu, the combination is like a miracle. I love it so much.

This course had many different instructors from professors of humanities to retired experts of Kunqu performance (I would say treasures who had a wealth of knowledge.

The overall structure is fine. But it would be better if the answers and, if any, explanation for quiz are available.

Beautiful lectures, especially the demonstrations. The subtitles are well scripted; I'm very thankful for that.

十分受教！一定会推荐给其他同学的！

很通俗易懂，也很有趣味性。

Obviously, the specifics of an ancient Chinese opera are not for everyone, but if you are into China and/or Classical Music, there is much to learn here. Many of the lectures are given by (former) performers which guide you through a scene or aria, explaining as they go along. I for one enjoyed the insight into this unique way of storytelling.

Very interesting I thought the course was pitched well to the complete novice but yet was very informative . The last section on the infusion of modernity in particular I liked. It would have been great to hear more about the comparision with western thought and also the Bejing opera style.

Absolutely loved this course! I'm so glad I signed up for this one. It's made me so much more aware of the gorgeousness of Chinese culture. The videos are a delight to watch! Prof. Kenneth Hsien-yung Pai's articulate lectures really draw you in even if you do not understand the language.

I have learned the beauty of this unknown, delicate & abstract KUNQU OPERA. I want to learn more and travel to China to enjoy KUNQU OPERA in direct!!!! With the calligraphy of Ms. Tong Yang-Tze in the stagecraft!!! ... lovely course!!!!

congrats!!!!! and thank you :)

这门课程详细的讲述了昆曲中每种角色的特征，并且展示了每种角色的魅力，请到了每个行当中卓越的老师，非常有趣，让我这个本来对昆曲、对戏曲没什么兴趣的人也体会到了昆曲的美妙之处，听来自各个行当的老师讲课的时候，他们还会现场唱一段，我最喜欢的就是看老师们现场演绎经典的剧目，妙趣横生，精彩纷呈，让我觉得昆曲真的是老祖宗留下来的非常美好的东西。还能看到各个行当的老师为了传承、发扬昆曲和昆曲精神所作出的不断地努力，为了融合现代的元素，吸引更多的年轻观众喜欢、甚至热爱昆曲所进行的不断改进，向这些老师和为昆曲发展做出贡献的学者致敬。

Eye opening and enlightening. I enjoyed the course while it is also instrumental to my academic advancement. Kunqu Opera certainly deserves more recognition and appreciation. This course is a meaningful orientation on the subject.

Such a wonderful course... Beautiful of explanation from the Opera experts.. I was truly enlightened by this course and had better understanding in watching Opera drama (Winter Begonia chinese drama). Bravo!!!!

After taking this course, i start to know how to appreciate Kunqu. Now i love Kunqu very much. Hope that more people can learn how to appreciate the beauty of Kunqu through this amazing course.

This was a really interesting course and I feel like I have an insight into kunqu opera and Chinese culture. I will now watch Kunqu opera and understand and appreciate the different elements.

真的很有趣 讲了很多以前不懂的东西，老师们都很有经验也有很深厚的文学和戏曲的底蕴，以前只觉得戏曲很无趣很古板，学了这门课真的让我感受到了 中国传统文化的美还有她背后的故事，时代背景。老师们的课堂都非常有趣，感觉他们还有很多要讲的但是时间不够！学完有种意犹未尽的感觉，希望能多出这种课堂真的是太有趣了！喜欢！respect！ 血书求学校多出点文学艺术方面的课程～！！！

Great Course. Went and saw the Jade Hairpin in D.C. the day after I completed this course. It was a nice desert now able to understand and witness what the professor's had described.

Some of the quizzes were challenging, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable class! I loved learning about Kunqu and I could have listened to the teachers talk for hours and hours.

Amazing course amazing art. Breathtaking beauty of Kunqu. Lovely lecturers. Maybe it should add more videos or performans. It provide better and easy understanding.

非常非常有实用性的课程，我本身也是艺术类的从业者，以前对昆曲就是好奇，但是一无所知。这次昆曲的学习打开了一扇新的大门，看到了戏曲艺术的闪光，非常值得传承的艺术瑰宝，看到老一代艺术家在课堂上努力的展示自己的专业非常的感动，强过无数坐而论道的伪君子无数倍啊 ，值得推荐，老师很棒!课程内容很丰富，很庆幸我赖道科这个课程中！
