After the rain, the East Lake ushered in a gathering of pear orchards.
On the evening of April 11, the 2024 "Voice of Spring" East Lake Literature and Art Huimin Performance presented a special performance of traditional opera "Spring Full of Pear Garden" in Changtianlou, and a number of winners of the "Plum Blossom Award", "Magnolia Award" and "Peony Flower Award" made their first appearance to present the famous pieces of opera, which attracted thunderous applause from the audience.
The rhyme of opera lies in its tactful singing, its beautiful figure, its smart eyes, and also in the program and intentional expression of singing, reading, and playing. That night, the Voice of Spring East Lake Huimin performed a special performance of traditional opera with a number of classic opera singing segments, focusing on the charm of opera.
In the meantime, Li Nan relied on the unique "short step" skills of the clown in traditional opera to amaze the audience - in the nearly 20-minute performance time, he always "squatted" into a "Wu Dalang" with a height of less than 1 meter, and the performance of the two of them was humorous and vivid.
An excerpt from Huangmei Opera "Liang Zhu", sung by Cao Zhulai, a famous Huangmei opera artist and winner of the "Peony Flower Award", with its graceful singing voice, allows the audience to gain insight into the power of the love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai from the music and lyrics.
And the cooperation between the two "Plum Blossom Award" winners and Huangmei opera masters won the "wealth of the sky" for the performance of the night - at the finale, Zhang Hui, president of Huangmei Drama Theater in Hubei Province, and Cheng Cheng, head of Huangmei Drama Troupe of Hubei Provincial Opera Art Theater, jointly brought "Eighteen Phases" in the duet and interaction of male and female voices, so that Liang Shanbo, who was "ignorant and ignorant of the other side", and Zhu Yingtai, who "had nowhere to complain", jumped on the stage.
Compared with the witty Chu opera and the delicacy of Huangmei opera, the singing segment of Han opera that appeared that night showed its charm through the eyes of the actors. Hubei Provincial Opera Art Theater Chinese Opera Master and Peony Award winner Li Ai's "The Drunken Concubine" is fresh and bright, soft and generous, and full of singing charm.
Yi Yan, the famous artist of the Peking Opera Company of Hubei Province and the winner of the Peony Flower Award, brought the highlight of Lao Dan and the flower-faced drama "Fighting the Dragon Robe", Yin Zhangxu, the veteran of the Ma School of the Peking Opera Company of Hubei Province and the winner of the Peony Flower Award, brought the famous drama "Qing Guanshu" of the Ma School, and Lan Tian, the old master of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company and the winner of the Shanghai Magnolia Drama Leading Role Award, "Wild Boar Forest", which interpreted the elegance of Peking Opera for the first time......
It is reported that the 2024 "Voice of Spring" East Lake Literature and Art Huimin Performance will be hosted by the Hubei Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Hubei Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Hubei Provincial Association for the Promotion of Chinese Culture, and the Tingtao Management Office of Wuhan East Lake Ecotourism Scenic Area, undertaken by the Hubei Provincial Chinese Culture Promotion Center and Hubei Changtianlou Cultural Exchange Center, and co-organized by Hubei Peking Opera Company, Hubei Provincial Opera Art Theater, Wuhan Peking Opera Company, and Wuhan Chu Theater. On the evening of the 12th, "Spring is Full of Pear Garden" presented a special modern opera performance in Changtianlou, the Beijing song "Pear Blossom Song", the Chinese tune "Red Plum Praise", the Huangmei opera song "Dajiang Chung Spring Tide", "Wisdom Fight", "One Day Will Be Liberated", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and other famous segments from the modern Peking Opera "Shajiabang", continue to light up the spring rhyme of East Lake.
