乐队的伴奏同演员的表演互相配合渲染出了整个演出的气氛。
The accompaniment of music builds up the atmosphere of the whole story as well as goes with the performance of the actors.

音乐的伴奏甚至细致到了能跟得上演员眼珠的转动、眨眼以及手指的颤抖，当然还有角色所表达的感情。
So delicately that it can go with the sudden movement of the eyes, the blinks and even the trembling of the hands as well as, of course the emotional expression of the characters.

总之，京剧是中国传统的一门综合性的表演艺术。
