Cover has slight wear and soiling. Some pages are disbound but present and suitable for framing. Appears complete. Peking opera or Beijing opera is a form of Chinese opera which combines music vocal performance mime dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century. The form was extremely popular in the Qing dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. The art form is also preserved in Taiwan Republic of China where it is known as Guójù literally: "National theatre". Peking opera features four main types of performers. With their elaborate and colorful costumes performers are the only focal points on Peking opera's characteristically sparse stage. They use the skills of speech song dance and combat in movements that are symbolic and suggestive rather than realistic. Above all else the skill of performers is evaluated according to the beauty of their movements. Performers also adhere to a variety of stylistic conventions that help audiences navigate the plot of the production. The layers of meaning within each movement must be expressed in time with music. . Melodies include arias fixed-tune melodies and percussion patterns. The repertoire of Peking opera includes over 1400 works which are based on Chinese history folklore and increasingly contemporary life. Types of facial makeup are a special method of makeup in Chinese traditional operas. Since every historical character or characters of a certain type are provided with a particular facial type similar to music scores for singing and playing music such a method of makeup is named "Types of facial makeup". Among all Chinese traditional operas types of facial makeup in Peking Opera have developed into the most systematic and mature one. Historical characters in Chinese traditional Peking Opera are provided with different types of facial makeup. They can reflect the identity status personality and appearance of the characters and therefore can intensify the artistic appeal on stage. As an impressionistic and exaggerated art types of facial makeup in Peking Opera is featured by painting brows eyelids and jowls in various patterns such as bat swallow wing and butterfly wing. Also it is characterized by portraying facial expressions with exaggerated nasal fossas and lipped fossas. The age can be reflected by the height and shape of "Crow's-feet" temperament by the opening and closing of "Chordal furrow" and personality by different patterns of "Glabella furrow". Additionally in the types of facial makeup in Peking Opera there exist some invariable images including white-faced Tsao Tsao and black-faced Bao Zheng. The white-faced image symbolizes wickedness and viciousness while black-faced image stands for equity and selflessness. Due to unchangeable rules in types of facial makeup personalities of a character with certain facial makeup can be seen from the facial colors and figures. As one of the onstage art techniques various types of facial makeup in Peking Opera enable the audience to know a character's personality easily and accordingly get more involved in the appreciation of the performance. Thus types of facial makeup enjoy the fame of "Interior Pictures" which is an extremely crack skill of art exclusively existing in Chinese operas. Patterns of theatrical masks have served as a symbol of China. Nowadays on the market there appear many exquisite and aesthetic commodities and stamps printed with such patterns which are of high appreciating and collecting values. Peking Opera hardcover

In good condition lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. Signed 'Percy Anderson.' According to a pencil note Broadhurst was Beerbohm Tree's 'press agent'. He has received Broadhurst's letter late the same night and begins by informing him that he cannot go to Covent Garden the following day as he will be with a sitter. He continues: 'As I implied to you in my last letter it seems almost impossible for me to give you details of the costumes to be worn in “Joan of Arc.†Period Charles XII of France he reigned from 1403 to 1461. The dresses are of necessity tremendously fantastic & in designing them I have endeavoured to make them historically correct. Therefore what else can I say about them' Were the dresses 'fanciful' it would be easy for Anderson to describe them but 'as it is they must be rather on conventional lines'. He concludes: 'I hate to appear discourteous & if I cld. be of any use to you or to Mr. Eyles I wld. but I think you will readily understand the difficulty'. 6 October 1913; on letterhead of 55 York Terrace, Regent's Park, N.W. unknown

He thanks him for his 'delightful' card and for 'yr. good wishes & for the tickets you so kindly send me for The Miracle. It was most thoughtful of you.'

The recipient William Clarkson was the owner of Clarkson's Wigs Wellington Street London.

RE Anderson & G & S: "The artist and costume designer Percy Anderson 1851-1928 was based in London where he exhibited watercolours at the New Water Colour Society in 1886. He designed costumes for the original productions of the last four Gilbert and Sullivan operas at the Savoy Theatre - The Yeomen of the Guard 1888 The Gondoliers 1889 Utopia Limited 1893 and The Grand Duke 1896 and for several D’Oyly Carte revivals including that for Utopia Limited considered by Rupert D’Oyly Carte in 1926 and but never realised. Given Gilbert’s exacting attitude to his productions it is an accolade to Anderson that he worked with Gilbert on so many including Gilbert and Edward German’s Fallen Fairies 1909 when Gilbert said Anderson: ‘surpassed himself’". 12 March 1912, 31 December [1912], and the other two without year; all on letterheads of 55 York Terrace, Regent's Park, N.W. unknown

Contemporary black vinyl 3-ring binder minor scuffing edgewear still VG exemplar. A wonderful original ballet director’s art direction notebook for the Peter Pan ballet staged in 1984 intended to offer young up-and-coming ballet students at the time to experience live performances and to unify Eastside/Westside Royal Academy of Dancing trained students. It would be 5 years before the Oregon Ballet and Pacific Ballet Theater would consolidate under the direction of James Canfield to form the Oregon Ballet Theatre. This ballet featured four acts divided into The Nursery Neverland Ship of the Pirates and Conclusion featuring solos by Wendy Tinker Bell Peter and Captain Hook over the length of the production. Dancers 4-5 years old were featured as the Neverland Fairies 5-7 years old with 2 years of training and pre-primary Royal Academy examinations behind them played Forest Fairies; Lost Children were 6-9 years old and had performed Barre and footwork; followed by the Pirates and soloists including Wendy Heather Miller Peter Pan Laura Spradlin Captain Hook Elizabeth Johnson and the mermaids drawn from the Lake Oswego School of Ballet under the directorship of Christine Donald. The original score by Anita Perry b. 1960 an up-and-coming Canadian composer out of British Columbia where she had studied piano with Lee Kum Sing and composition with Cortland Hultberg. In her early 20’s M. Perry had already won several composition awards was known for her original ballet works and wrote this score with orchestration for a variety of instruments “lending to the performance. . . a more closely approximated real environment experienced by professional dancers.†Peter Pan as a ballet required a fair amount of athleticism and as indicated here in Higgins’s artistic director’s notebook required extensive choreography changes scene adjustments and revisions by M. Perry. Higgins studied and danced at the British Royal Ballet later with Elvie DeMarko 1924-1989 of Ballet Russe and then with Robert Barnett of the Atlanta Ballet. No similar notebooks or programs survive for this 1984 ballet and there are no recordings or printed musical scores this cataloguer could uncover.
