Abstract
Works depicting ethnic minority groups have comprised a major component of Chinese opera. After the 1950s, composers in Xinjiang inherited ethnic musical traditions while exploring ways to integrate Uyghur folk literature and music into opera, drawing upon Western musical techniques. As a result, many operas with unique characteristics were produced. Ethnic minority Chinese opera is a principal constituent of Chinese opera, exhibiting regional and individual traits while retaining operatic performance forms. This paper focuses on investigating characteristics of Uyghur opera in terms of material, character setting, musical language, and stage presentation in order to explore the distinctiveness of ethnic minority Chinese opera. By analyzing representative works, it aims to elucidate various artistic attributes conveyed in Uyghur opera and reflect historical perspectives, contributing to comprehending ethnic minority Chinese opera.
