As an important part of the three-level joint purchase of cultural performances to benefit the people at the provincial, municipal and county levels undertaken by Shandong Theater Line, the modern Peking Opera "Surprise Attack white tiger troupe" will be brilliantly staged at tengzhou theater at 19:00 on December 19. This performance is a cultural performance for the benefit of the people, and the ticket price is divided into two stages: 20 yuan and 30 yuan.
Created in the 1960s, Raid on the White Tiger Regiment is a modern Peking opera based on the true deeds of Yang Yucai, a hero of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the Korean War. After many times of processing, modification and improvement, in 1964, he participated in the "National Peking Opera Modern Opera Observation and Performance Conference", which received a warm response and was widely praised. In 1972, it was put on the screen by Changchun Film Studio, causing a sensation in the country. The Shandong Provincial Peking Opera House rehearsed this play for the third time in 2020 and was warmly welcomed.
The most prominent artistic feature of "Raid on the White Tiger Troupe" lies in the creative use of the traditional performance forms and figures of Peking Opera to express modern warfare. The whole drama includes the prologue "Marching Side by Side", the epilogue "Chasing Victory", and the "Combat Friendship", "Insisting on Struggle", "Reconnaissance Behind Enemy Lines", "Taking the Initiative to Ask for Battle", "Taking the Oath to Leave", "Inserting Behind enemy Lines", "Wisdom To Seize the Post", "Flying Over the Graben", and "Raiding the Bandit's Nest". Each session has a theme and is distinctive. As the plot progresses layer by layer, the image of each character is also more full.
"Raid on the White Tiger Troupe" has a lot of dangerous actions, which is also the difficulty of rehearsal of the show. For example, in the sixth scene "Inserting Behind enemy lines", the lead actor and the "sharp knife class" actors should "go down high" from a height of two meters in a variety of postures, "cloud front swoop", "cloud flip" and "three hundred and six turns under the height" are all extremely skillful and very testing actions, and the difficulty coefficient is also very high.
The stage of this "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" is very interesting. While reproducing the classics, more attention is paid to reflecting the characteristics of the times. On the basis of retaining the original stage style, in accordance with the contemporary aesthetic requirements, combined with modern sound, light, electrical technology and equipment, equipped with newly produced stage art, costumes, etc., the scene effect is shocking. The music singing voice realizes the deep integration of the traditional Peking Opera band and the Western orchestra, and the classic singing sections such as Xipi Liushui "Defeating the Wolf of American Imperialism Ambition" and Erhuang Allegro "Never Let the Mei and Li Bandits Escape Alone" are encouraged.
The Shandong Provincial Peking Opera House was founded in May 1950 as the Shandong Provincial Experimental Theater Troupe, and was renamed the Shandong Provincial Peking Opera Troupe in 1953. In 1990, it was renamed Shandong Peking Opera House. In December 2005, it was awarded the "National Key Peking Opera Troupe" by the Ministry of Culture. In 2009, it was rated as "National Advanced Collective of Cultural System". In 2017, it was rated as "Provincial Civilized Unit".
The theater has dozens of excellent traditional plays that have been performed for a long time, with a neat lineup, complete industry, and strict typhoons. He has successfully created and arranged the red classic dramas "Surprise Attack white tiger troupe" and "Red Sister-in-law", which were put on the screen by Changchun Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio, causing a sensation in the country. In recent years, the newly compiled modern history Peking opera "Rui Yuxiang" won many national awards for "Shilongwan", "Spring and Autumn Overlord", "Railway Guerrilla", "Iron-Blooded Hongru" and other plays created and arranged in 2013, won the "Wenhua Award" (the first in the list) of the 14th Wenhua Awards of the 10th China Arts Festival.
