Abstract

The opera “Daughter of the Party†, a masterpiece meticulously created by the Chinese General Political Department Opera Troupe in 1991 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, boasts profound artistic value and rich ideological connotations. This opera achieves a profound integration of ethnic musical elements and Chinese XiQu (Chinese traditional opera) vocal techniques, endowing the work with a strong local flavor and a rustic texture. Such integration significantly enhances the expressiveness of dramatic conflicts and emotional tension, successfully shaping vivid and multi-dimensional character portrayals. In terms of vocal techniques, it is manifested through the application of trill, KuQiang, and other vocal techniques of Chinese XiQu. This study use practice-based research method and takes classic arias from this opera as examples to analyze the utilization of Chinese XiQu within the work and summarizes its vocal techniques, thereby providing opera enthusiasts with richer references for vocal performance.
