   The opera we saw was Lady White Snake，a classic Chinese folk tale.A white snake changes into a beautiful girl，and then falls in love with a human.But the actors didn't only tell the story through song；the dancing and movements were fantastic，jye.aio.To act out the story and show their emotions，the actors used not only their faces but also their whole bodies.There weren't a lot of stage props （道具） or scenery because the actors used a lot of symbols to help tell the story.An actor running with a whip （鞭子），for example，meant they were riding a horse.Doing somersaults （空翻） from a table meant they were running down a mountain.
