This paper presents a method that generates expressive singing voice of Peking opera. The synthesis of expressive opera singing usually requires pitch contours to be extracted as the training data, which relies on techniques and is not able to be manually labeled. With the Duration Informed Attention Network (DurIAN), this paper makes use of musical note instead of pitch contours for expressive opera singing synthesis. The proposed method enables human annotation being combined with automatic extracted features to be used as training data thus the proposed method gives extra flexibility in data collection for Peking opera singing synthesis. Comparing with the expressive singing voice of Peking opera synthesised by pitch contour based system, the proposed musical note based system produces comparable singing voice in Peking opera with expressiveness in various aspects.
