TOP REVIEWS FROM THE BEAUTY OF KUNQU OPERA
Very nice course. Really interesting introduction to the subject.
There are lots of very nice guest lecturers who are expert performers of Kunqu Opera. Very beneficial and enjoyable.
The overall structure is fine. But it would be better if the answers and, if any, explanation for quiz are available.
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.
