Opera is a beautiful vocal art that expresses the plot and central idea through singing and music. In opera, aria is the most important way of expression. As a solo in opera, it can better reflect the singer's vocal skills. As the most common voice part, soprano not only puts forward higher requirements for performers' singing skills, but also for their dramatic performance. In order to improve the performance level of soprano performers and fully convey the artistic value of aria works to the audience, this paper conducted an in-depth study on the dramatic performance skills of soprano in opera aria. To verify the effectiveness of performance skills, this article conducted teaching practice on sophomore students in the music department of a certain university, and divided them into an experimental group and a control group. The practice results showed that the number of soprano singers in the experimental group who trained and learned the dramatic performance skills in this paper accounted for 27.5% in the excellent level; The number of soprano singers in the control group who used traditional teaching methods for training and learning scored at the excellent level accounted for 15%. It can be seen from the practice results that training from breath, voice, character emotion and characteristics is conducive to improving soprano's dramatic performance skills and performance level.
