''Huju'' (), or "Shanghai opera" is a variety of Chinese opera from Shanghai. It is typically sung in the Shanghainese dialect. It is particularly popular in Baihe, the oldest town in the Qingpu District of Shanghai.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Opera lover protects art form in Qingpu )〕 There are eight to ten ''huju'' troupes in the town, and many local residents hire the troupes to perform for weddings and funerals. ''Huju'' is accompanied by an ensemble of traditional Chinese instruments, including ''dizi'' (transverse bamboo flute), ''erhu'' (two-stringed fiddle), ''pipa'' (pear-shaped lute), ''yangqin'' (hammered dulcimer), and percussion. The instrumentation and style are closely related to the instrumental genre of ''Jiangnan sizhu''. The famous Chinese composition "Purple Bamboo Melody" () is adapted and used for ''huju''. ==References== *Stock, Jonathan P. J. (2003). ''Huju: Traditional Opera in Modern Shanghai''.
