China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Jiang Xiaobin) On January 15, the Canadian music documentary "Chuckpesh" held the premiere of the film in China at the Emperor Film City in Beijing.
"Chuckpesh" records the entire process of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ken Noh in 2018, composing the chamber opera "Chuckpesh". This chamber opera tells in a relaxed way the epic story of the early heroes of the Innu people, Canada's Aboriginal people.
Created by Aboriginal Canadian playwrights and composers, the work is sung in three ancient languages, Innu, Kerry and Inuit, spoken by Aboriginal Canadians. Ken Nagano and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra not only completed the premiere of the entire opera, but also toured the North Quebec region of Canada with the work.
The documentary not only faithfully records the creation and rehearsal process of this opera, but also presents the original cultural exchange between Canada's multi-ethnic groups. The audience is impressed by the frozen Quebec region, because of an opera that has created a new temperature.
At the screening site, Ni Jiemin, chargé d'affaires of the Canadian Embassy in China, said: "We are very pleased to cooperate with the Beijing International Music Festival again to show Canadian culture to Chinese audiences through film playback. ”
The event was co-sponsored by the Public Diplomacy Office of the Canadian Embassy in Beijing and the Beijing International Music Festival.
