Excerpt from A Spectator's Handbook of Noh
This does not mean that Noh is a simple art to master; quite to the contrary, it requires a lifetime of intensive practice, for Noh is a most exacting art, including elements comparable to opera (chanting), drama (miming), ballet (stylized dance forms), and orchestration (three, or four, instruments), plus the totally different art of impersonation in female, warrior, old-age, spirit, animal, demon, or heavenly-being roles. It is thus not surprising that a professional may be still considered immature at the age of fifty!
The purpose of Noh is neither the portraying of a story nor the teaching of a moral, but simply the expression of beauty.
