ABSTRACT

Popular music, known as "popular music", has a high voice and popularity among the masses and is an important part of popular music culture. At the same time, the integration of popular music and opera elements has achieved certain results in the popularization of mass culture, but there are still some shortcomings that need further innovation and reform. Chinese traditional opera music, with its profound cultural heritage and unique forms of expression, has become an important bridge representing the communication between Chinese culture and world culture. Therefore, the combination of pop music and opera elements has become a new form of exploration. However, with the influx of pop music, the important position of opera has been greatly impacted. However, with the increasingly frequent cultural exchanges among countries, the influence of western music on the creation of pop music is becoming increasingly prominent. This form is not only easy to cause aesthetic fatigue for the masses, but also not conducive to the development of China's local music culture. It seems that opera art is only favored by the elderly and has become a "minority culture". The public yearns for pop music, a musical element in line with the development trend of the times. This paper will discuss the integration and development of pop music and opera elements in the current music market. The integration of the two has important value in promoting the inheritance and dissemination of Chinese opera culture.
