Red Star News Network (Reporter Dan Tangwen) reported on April 24 that on April 20, "Sichuan Opera Show - Legendary Face Change", which was once widely loved by domestic and foreign audiences, officially resumed, which is the first time in 3 years, "Sichuan Opera Show - Legend Face Change" kicked off again.
Due to the expansion of the Sichuan Opera Arts Center, performances of the play have been suspended since October 2020. Now, with the successful completion of the renovation project of the Sichuan Opera Art Center, "Sichuan Opera Show - The Legend Changing Face" has also returned to meet the audience. Wang Chao, vice president of Chengdu Sichuan Opera Research Institute, said, "I hope that through the re-enactment of "Sichuan Opera Show - Legendary Changing Face", it will provide a window for more domestic and foreign tourists to understand Chengdu's local culture, inherit and carry forward the art of Sichuan Opera, and continuously enhance cultural self-confidence, which will not only add new vitality to Chengdu's cultural tourism and performing arts market, but also contribute to the construction of Chengdu as a world cultural city." Since its official performance on September 2, 2011, "Sichuan Opera Show - Legend Changing Face" has been performed nearly 4,000 times, with nearly 1.2 million viewers.
Chengdu Sichuan Opera Research Institute's "Sichuan Opera Show - Legendary Changing Face" is the first large-scale cultural and tourism integration repertoire in the country that takes the essence of Sichuan Opera culture as the soul, skillfully integrates acrobatics, dance, puppet show and other multiple art forms, and presents the thousand-year-old Chengdu's humanistic style and market life. On the basis of inheriting the traditional singing, reading, doing, beating and changing faces, spitting fire, rolling lamps and other unique skills of Sichuan Opera, the play boldly innovates the way of stage expression, uses contemporary light and shadow technology, expands the artistic tension of Sichuan Opera, and enhances the impact and shock of the performance in multiple visions and dimensions. The 70-minute performance tells a touching story that takes place at the site of the "Sanqinghui" in Chengdu, the birthplace of Sichuan opera (where the current "Jinjiang Theater" is located).
In that year, after the opening of this artistic masterpiece, almost all the seats were full, which was not only deeply loved by old opera fans, but also attracted countless domestic and foreign tourists to enter the theater to feel the charm of Sichuan opera art and Tianfu culture. In October 2020, the performance of "Sichuan Opera Show - Legend Changing Face" was suspended due to the construction of the reconstruction and expansion project of the Sichuan Opera Art Center. Wang Chao said that after the rehearsal of the rehearsal, "Sichuan Opera Show - Legendary Face Change" has been greatly adjusted and improved in terms of stage art, music, costumes, storyline, etc., and the face change performance has been upgraded from the previous six-headed face change to eight face changes, and the content is richer.
In order to give back to the audience, from April 20th to 23rd, 4 preferential activities will be carried out to implement 1 yuan ticket purchase and viewing. On the evening of the 28th, ticket sales will officially begin, and the listed price of tickets ranges from 150 yuan to 580 yuan. (Photo provided by Chengdu Sichuan Opera Research Institute)
