中外音乐剧比较浙江工商大学工商管理学院班级：工商1101学号：1101100116段丽媛1.什么是音乐剧？音乐剧（英语：Music Theater,简称：Musicals）,又称歌舞剧，是音乐、舞蹈、歌曲、魔术、杂技和对白等丰富多彩表演形式结合为一体的戏剧表演。
剧中的幽默、讽刺、感伤、爱情等主题通过演员的语言，神情和动作以及舞台的背景、环境和各种音乐的巧妙结合来传达给观众一种新颖的综合的艺术形式。
音乐剧的特点有：综合性，现代性，多元性和灵活性等。
它是一门20世纪出现的一门新兴的综合舞台艺术。
它通俗易懂，突破年龄、阶层等客观因素的局限，广受观众的喜爱。
2.音乐剧的产生和发展简短介绍在17世纪~18世纪的欧洲，音乐成了人们用来表达思想和感情的有力工具。
各式各样的音乐都得到茂盛的发展，出现了清唱剧和歌剧，但这两种剧在某些方面上显得单调，而且不能完全满足观众的口味和需要，于是出现了介于两者之间的艺术形式产生了。
历史上第一部“音乐剧”是约翰·凯的《乞丐的歌剧》，首演于1728年的伦敦，后来一个巡回演出团在美国北部也上演了这部剧，这便是美国人亲身体验音乐剧的开端。
后来，美国的第一部音乐剧《黑魔鬼》出现，德国的喜剧《穿紧身衣跳舞的女孩》也出现，西方的很多国家都已开始了音乐剧的创作。
随着先进音乐制作技术的发展，大量优秀剧本的创作，大量优秀导演的诞生，各种舞台、道具、服装设计的创新以及大家对音乐剧的喜爱，音乐剧得以广泛地、多样化的发展，呈现了一派新荣的百花争艳的景象。
而到了现代这个科技时代，高科技技术的融入也为音乐剧的各方面的创作带来了一股新风。
3.中外音乐剧起步比较从音乐剧的起源和初期到中期的发展过程中，我们始终很难看得到中国的音乐剧谱写下的足迹，而美国、英国、法国和德国等国家却已开始了不同背景，不同风格，不同题材和尝试和创作，这不得不成为“为什么中国没有创作出优秀而又能在世界范围内具有影响力的音乐剧”的原因，因为我们在音乐剧这一方面的起步和意识远远晚于很多外国国家。
浅析西方歌剧和中国戏曲之差异
浅析西方歌剧和中国戏曲之差异西方歌剧和中国戏曲是两种截然不同的音乐艺术形式，它们分别代表着西方和东方音乐文化的精髓。
虽然它们都是歌剧形式的代表作，但在表现形式、音乐风格、故事题材、表演形式等方面有着显著的差异。
下面将从叙事流程、音乐风格、视觉效果、文化内涵等方面进行浅析，探讨西方歌剧和中国戏曲之间的差异。

以作品为例比较西洋歌剧和中国戏曲
以作品为例比较西洋歌剧和中国戏曲法学院法学122班田婧 1203010060在星期一7.8节上课德国著名哲学家黑格尔对戏剧有过极高评价：“戏剧无论在内容上还是在形式上都要形成最完美的整体，所以应该看作诗乃至一般艺术的最高层。
”中国戏曲音乐与西洋歌剧音乐虽然同属音乐范畴，但是因为它们分别来源于不同的民族文化、分属于不同的艺术样式，因此具有各不相同的美学特征。
然而，戏剧终归来源于生活，是文明的产物，那么无论中国与欧洲空间距离如何遥远，古代的人际交流与信息的沟通又是如何的不便，戏剧的源脉的形式及艺术特征上，中国戏曲和西洋歌剧总会有相通之处。
戏剧这个艺术载体在发展过程中因融入了文学、诗歌、音乐、舞蹈、美术......成为集大成之综合体。
无疑，她在艺术殿堂最高层的位置难以撼动。
在戏剧艺术中我们可以迸发灵感、汲取精神养分、萃取思想的火花！中西戏剧各自经过了漫长的发展历程，它们并没有孰优孰劣之分，只是能让我们从它们的差异性中窥见到两种不同文化下同一种艺术形式的不同品相，有助于我们对中西艺术的文化思维深入理解。
只有认清它们的差异所在，才能学会用不同的视角领略中西方经典名剧的无穷魅力；感受各自文化的博大精深；体验至真、至善、至美的艺术境界。
从起源上看，西洋歌剧起源于巴洛克时期（1066年—1750年），最初是由意大利佛罗伦萨的一群人文主义者为了复兴希腊时期的戏剧传统而创造的音乐形式，其渊源除了古希腊戏剧还有世纪神秘剧、假面剧，最直接的起源是文艺复兴后期兴起的牧歌（madrigal）。
1599年佩里创作的《达夫尼》（已亡佚）是目前（2010年）所知的第一部歌剧，1600年他创作了《尤丽狄斯》是现存最早的歌剧。
这两部歌剧已经有了咏叹调与宣叙调分工，但总体看来并不成熟。
1607年蒙特维尔第创作的《奥菲欧》是第一部成意义上的近代歌剧，作者运用了相当近代化的管弦乐队为戏剧配乐，用不谐和音烘托气氛和展现矛盾。
在他的歌剧里，独唱（宣叙调、咏叹调）、重唱、管弦队和舞蹈综合在一起为剧情服务。
中国戏曲与西洋戏剧之比较
中国戏曲与西洋戏剧之比较XX学院 XX班 XXX西洋歌剧与中国戏曲是音乐艺术与戏剧艺术不断发展的结果，也是音乐与戏剧相结合的一种高度综合的艺术。
二者是在不同的地域、不同的社会型态、不同的民族文化背景下形成和出现的艺术类型，从艺术形式上来认识，都是将音乐、戏剧、文学、舞蹈、美术等融为一体的综合性艺术，因而有诸多的相同之处，但因其起源于不同地域，发展于不同地域，故彼此间又存在诸多不同。
下面将以具体作品为例，比较中国戏剧和西洋歌剧在文化背景，艺术表演方式和蕴含的人文精神的不同。
指出中国戏曲该如何发展。
一、中国戏曲和西洋歌剧形成的时代背景的不同艺术植根抵于人民生活之中, 而音乐艺术又都源自民族民间音乐中, 各有各的民族特色。
世界上有三种古老的戏剧文化:一是希腊悲剧和喜剧、二是印度梵剧、三是中国戏曲。
可见我国戏曲在世界艺术宝库中占有了独具特色的重要地位。
中国戏曲的起源很早, 在上古原始社会的歌舞中已经萌芽, 经汉唐到宋金的发育成长过程才形成比较完整的戏曲艺术形态。
中国古典戏曲是中华民族文化的一个重要组成部分，她以富于艺术魅力的表演形式为历代人民群众所喜闻乐见。
戏曲的形成最早可以追溯秦汉时代。
但形成过程相当漫长，到了宋元之际才得成型。
成熟的戏曲要从元杂剧算起，经历、明、清的不断发展成熟而进入现代，历八百多年繁盛不败。
如今有360多个剧种，多种唱腔。
中国古典戏曲在其漫长的发展过程中曾先后出现了宋元南戏、元代杂剧、明清传奇、清代地方戏及近、现代戏曲等四种基本形式。
而作为世界艺术珍宝的西洋歌剧, 是西方音乐文化的重要组成部分。
歌剧最早出现在16世纪的意大利，源自古希腊悲剧的剧场音乐，既而传播到欧洲各国。
而德国的海因里希·许茨、法国普蒂斯特·吕利和英格兰的亨利·珀赛尔分别在他们自己的国家，开创了17世纪歌剧的先河，直到18世纪，意大利歌剧依然是欧洲歌剧的主流。
按其性质特点及流传时、区的不同，分有正歌剧、大歌剧、轻歌剧、乐剧等类型。
中国诗歌与西方诗歌的区别英语作文
中国诗歌与西方诗歌的区别英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Differences Between Chinese and Western PoetryPoetry is a form of literature that has been practiced and treasured by cultures around the world for centuries. Chinese poetry and Western poetry are two distinct traditions that offer unique perspectives on the human experience. While both Chinese and Western poetry share some similarities in terms of structure and themes, there are also significant differences that set them apart.One major difference between Chinese and Western poetry is the use of language and form. Chinese poetry is characterized by its compact and concise language, often relying on symbols and imagery to convey deeper meanings. Chinese poets typically use a strict form of meter and rhyme, such as the tonal patterns of Classical Chinese poetry or the regulated verse of Tang and Song dynasty poetry. In contrast, Western poetry often uses a more flexible form, with a focus on meter, rhyme, and line breaks to create rhythm and emphasize certain words or ideas.Another key difference between Chinese and Western poetry is the cultural and philosophical influences that shape each tradition. Chinese poetry is deeply rooted in Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, with themes of nature, harmony, and moral virtue often explored in poems. The focus in Chinese poetry is on the relationship between man and nature, as well as the search for inner peace and enlightenment. In Western poetry, on the other hand, themes of individualism, emotion, and existentialism are more prevalent. Western poets often explore personal experiences, feelings, and perceptions of the world, with a focus on self-expression and introspection.In terms of subject matter, Chinese poetry tends to be more abstract and symbolic, with a focus on nature, beauty, and philosophical musings. Western poetry, on the other hand, is often more direct and concrete, with a focus on personal experiences, emotions, and social issues. Chinese poets often use allegory and metaphor to convey deeper meanings, while Western poets may use narrative and imagery to create a vivid picture for the reader.Finally, the role of the poet in Chinese and Western poetry differs as well. In Chinese poetry, the poet is often seen as a sage or wise figure, offering moral lessons and insights through theirwords. Chinese poets are expected to uphold traditional values and express reverence for ancestors and nature. In Western poetry, on the other hand, the poet is often seen as a rebel or provocateur, challenging societal norms and questioning authority. Western poets are encouraged to be original and innovative, pushing the boundaries of language and form.Overall, while Chinese and Western poetry share some common elements, such as a focus on language and imagery, they also have distinct characteristics that reflect the cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic differences between the two traditions. By studying and appreciating the nuances of both Chinese and Western poetry, we can gain a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of human expression and creativity.篇2Chinese poetry and Western poetry have distinct differences that have evolved over centuries of cultural and linguistic development. The rich history and cultural context of each region have shaped the styles and themes of their respective poetic traditions. In this essay, we will explore the key differences between Chinese poetry and Western poetry, focusing on theform, content, and cultural influences that have shaped these two distinct traditions.One of the most striking differences between Chinese poetry and Western poetry is the form and structure of the poems. Chinese poetry is known for its strict adherence to specific forms and rhyme schemes, such as the regulated verse (lü̈shi), which consists of eight lines with a specific pattern of tones and rhyme. Western poetry, on the other hand, is more diverse in its forms and structures, with poets employing a wide range of meters and rhyme schemes to create their poems. The sonnet, for example, is a popular form in Western poetry, with its strict 14-line structure and rhyme scheme.Another key difference between Chinese poetry and Western poetry is the use of symbolism and imagery. Chinese poetry often relies on rich and evocative imagery drawn from nature and everyday life, with poets using symbols and metaphors to convey deeper meanings and emotions. Western poetry, in contrast, tends to be more direct and explicit in its language, with poets using concrete and sensory details to create vivid and immediate images for the reader.Cultural influences also play a significant role in shaping the themes and content of Chinese and Western poetry. Chinesepoetry is deeply rooted in Confucian and Daoist philosophy, with themes of harmony, nature, and the individual's relationship to society and the cosmos. Western poetry, on the other hand, is influenced by a wide range of cultural and literary traditions, with themes ranging from love and nature to social and political commentary.In conclusion, Chinese poetry and Western poetry are distinct poetic traditions that have evolved in response to their respective cultural and linguistic contexts. While Chinese poetry is known for its strict form and rich symbolism, Western poetry is characterized by its diversity of form and direct language. Both traditions have produced timeless works of poetry that continue to inspire and resonate with readers around the world.篇3Chinese poetry and Western poetry are two distinct forms of literary expression with unique characteristics and styles. While both types of poetry share common themes such as love, nature, and human emotions, there are significant differences in terms of structure, language, and cultural influences.One of the main differences between Chinese poetry and Western poetry is the structure and form. Chinese poetry, datingback to ancient times, typically consists of lines with four or eight characters, arranged in a fixed pattern known as a quatrain. Each line follows a strict syllabic count, creating a sense of balance and harmony in the poem. In contrast, Western poetry is more diverse in form, with poems ranging from sonnets with strict rhyme schemes to free verse with no set structure. Western poets often experiment with different forms and styles to convey their thoughts and emotions.Another key difference between Chinese poetry and Western poetry is the use of language and symbolism. Chinese poets often rely on symbolism, imagery, and allusions to evoke emotions and convey deeper meanings in their poems. They draw inspiration from nature, classical literature, and historical events to create rich and layered verses. Western poets, on the other hand, tend to use more direct language and imagery to express their thoughts and feelings. They may employ metaphors and similes to enhance the meaning of their poems, but the use of symbolism is less prominent compared to Chinese poetry.Cultural influences also play a significant role in shaping the themes and content of Chinese and Western poetry. Chinese poetry reflects the country's long history, traditions, andphilosophical beliefs, such as Confucianism and Taoism. Poets often explore themes of harmony, unity, and the beauty of the natural world in their works. In contrast, Western poetry is influenced by a wide range of cultural and literary movements, such as Romanticism, Modernism, and Postmodernism. Western poets engage with themes of individuality, freedom, and existentialism, reflecting the shifting values and beliefs of their societies.Despite these differences, Chinese poetry and Western poetry share a common goal of expressing the human experience and capturing the beauty of the world in words. Both forms of poetry have a rich legacy of masterpieces that continue to inspire and resonate with readers around the globe. Whether through the elegant quatrains of Li Bai or the lyrical verses of Shakespeare, poetry remains a powerful medium for communication and creativity across cultures and languages.。

Writing style: comparison and contrast
Topic: Chinese opera and western opera
Opera
Chinese opera and western opera are both important art form in the
world art.They have their distinctive artistic characters and different
appearance of art. I will do some comparison on their origin,
development and performance forms in this passage.
Chinese opera and western opera are originated from different
situation and have two ways of development. Chinese opera originated
from the 12th century and gradually formed with many conditions such as
complex show presented by the real people, dummy performance
including shadow play, puppet opera, folk popular tune and so on.
Western opera originated from the 16th century in Florence. Some experts
got together discussing the knowledge of music of old Greece. And then
the first opera “Daphne” created by Perry and Caccini in1597 was
performed successfully in the palace of nobles ,hitting the whole Florence.
In the ancient west, opera was a kind of aristocratic enjoyment. It was
played in the theater decorated solemnly where general civilian cannot
enter. However China opera belonged to each class both officials and
civilians. Going through long time development，Chinese opera have
various species like Beijing opera, Yueju, Kunqu and each has its own
characteristics which related with the spaces and the diversities of accents.
However, western opera Western Opera is Simple and Centered at
styles.Each country has its own style featured by their nation’s culture.
There are many distinctive features between Chinese opera and
western opera. The main artistic features of Chinese opera is
comprehensive, virtual, programming and western opera are supposed to
be real and exquisite. First, in Chinese classical opera, literature, sing,
dance, music, and even architecture art can be a part of the opera art but it
is not a simple combination of various kinds of artistic composition. The
composition of art links up subtly in together and appears in front of an
audience with overall image. However western opera express the story
entirely by singing and music. Second, Chinese opera is virtual. An opera
actor in the absence of any scenery and props would make the audience
understand his role with his performing to depict the detailed action of the
role. On the contrary, western opera requires to create the illusion of the
reality to let the audience feel themselves in the scene created on the
stage instead of in the theater. To this end, the western require art truly
reflects the life. Third, the role of singer classify in accordance with their
voice register and timbre and Western opera pay more attention to singing
and music. Chinese opera have it’s roles business. Actors study their role
business so even men would play female role or women may play male
role. In addition, actor must perform by using the stylized program
derived from the life which can easily to show the feature of characters
rather than directly using the way of life. According to their own
understanding of life and character, actor choose the procedural action
then organize and focus to enable it to fit with the role. Western opera pay
more attention to singing the story but Chinese opera pay more attention
to expressing the role.
In a word, Chinese opera and Western opera are two types of art.
Both of them have it’s own feature and value. Which one do you
prefer?
