Puccini absorbed dramatic dialogue techniques in his music, paying attention not to hinder the development of the plot by singing. Besides directly adopting folk songs from various countries, he was also good at using new techniques.
The inventor Edison once lamented in a letter to Puccini: "Life will end, the regime will change, and the opera" Artist’s Life "will live forever."
The Artist’s Career (also known as Bohemian) is a famous opera that has established Puccini’s international reputation. The material is taken from the novel Life Scenes of Bohemians by the French writer Henri Muerjee (1822-1861). In 1896, the opera The Artist’s Career premiered in Turin. This work, which is loved by the world, was not successful at the first performance, but it was warmly welcomed when it was performed again in Palermo two months later, which established Puccini’s worldwide status.
In this work, Puccini’s focus is not on describing the bohemian life of artists in the Latin quarter of Paris, but on describing the tragedy of the innocent love between embroidered Mimi and poet Rudolph. There are no dramatic arias, duets and choruses in the play, but short monologues, flexible singing recitations and singing paragraphs are added to the texture that runs through the development.

Venue: China Arts and Crafts Museum
Time: July 25th-August 25th.
highlight
Brocade and silk goods are flourishing in China. Yunjin, developed in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, is named after its gorgeous grace and colorful clouds. It is unique in winning games because of its collection of brocade skills of past dynasties. It was once used to weave dragon robes. Yunjin weaving is made of high-quality silk, gold and silver thread, bird and beast feathers and other materials, which can only be completed after numerous and precise working procedures. The working procedures mainly include weaving patterns, threading warp threads, pulling threads, weaving shuttles, etc. The processes mainly include warping and weft breaking, and digging flowers and making up colors, so it is said that "inch by inch" cannot be completed by machines at present.
