TOP REVIEWS FROM THE BEAUTY OF KUNQU OPERA
The overall structure is fine. But it would be better if the answers and, if any, explanation for quiz are available.
Beautiful lectures, especially the demonstrations. The subtitles are well scripted; I'm very thankful for that.
There are lots of very nice guest lecturers who are expert performers of Kunqu Opera. Very beneficial and enjoyable.
Great Course. Went and saw the Jade Hairpin in D.C. the day after I completed this course. It was a nice desert now able to understand and witness what the professor's had described.
