Opera is a music drama, while aria is a song, being a best representation to interpret the characteristics of characters in the opera. The opera 《Rusalka》 was wrotten by the Czech composer Antonin Leopold Dvorak in the period of romanticism of the19th century, having a special status in the worldwide opera histories due to its unique music representability. It was created by the composer as at gambling throughout the opera of the world as well as at extracting throughout the folks of the Czekh. It looks with special favor on its distinction of nationality, emotion of dramatics, lyricism of melody, and symphony of orchestration. The aria 《Ode To Moon》served as the focus in the opera, being as one of the required repertoires in the solo of soprano.The past studies on the aria 《Ode To Moon》 mostly focused on the theory evidence of production. However, the research on the singing style of the aria is still lack.Therefore, the current study preliminarily explore the singing style of the aria 《Ode To Moon》, via the methods as follows:retrieving, reading up relevant scientific papers and textbooks, drawing the experiences of performances of varied experts either on the spot or on videos, and combining the singing practices of author’s own. The comprehensive analyses of the aria were performed regarding the aspects of the characteristics of character, technique of singing, recreation of music score, and accompaniment.The current study has shown that the singing style of the aria 《Ode To Moon》 should integrate the following factors:the grasp of characteristics of character (being so quite but no loss ardor); the mastery of singing technique (modulation of breath, unobstructedness of resonance, unifiedness of vocalization, and exactness of language); the recreation of music score (control of melody, tempo and mark of expression); and the touching of accompaniment (producing atmosphere and glamorizing artistic conception). The image of the Rusalka will come true and vivid in the aria as the Dvorak worked only if the singing style is accurately held.
