The 4th Chinese Opera Festival, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the People's Government of Shandong Province, is underway. On October 25th, the traditional classic national opera "Honghu Red Guard" of Hubei Opera and Dance Theater was brilliantly performed at the Qingdao Phoenix Voice Grand Theater, and many young audiences came to watch this long-lasting red masterpiece.
On the same night, the Qingdao Phoenix Voice Grand Theater was brilliantly illuminated, and the wonderful performance of "Honghu Red Guards" won thunderous applause on the spot. When the exciting chorus of "Honghu Lake Waves" sounded at the end, more than a thousand spectators sang in unison along with the classic melody, reveling in the classic and eternal charm.
The opera "Honghu Red Guards" has been performed in Beijing in October 1959 as a tribute play for the tenth anniversary of the founding of New China in Hubei Province, and has become a hit, and has been performed more than 3,000 times in more than 60 years, becoming the collective memory of generations of Chinese sons and daughters. Today, the spirit of Honghu Lake is passed down from generation to generation with the classic melody, and the red memory is also rooted in the hearts of young audiences through classic works. Zhang Shaokui, student of Shandong University of Science and Technology:
"The school will organize activities on the theme of party building, and perform a fragment of the opera classic, and we will also rehearse the fragment of this opera."
The China Opera Festival is a national-level artistic event in the field of opera in China, which is held every three years, and since 2011, it has been held in Fujian, Hubei and Jiangsu for three sessions. As a traditional classic, the opera "Honghu Red Guards" is known as a banner of Chinese national opera, and since the first opera festival was held, it has become a traditional classic exhibition repertoire of each opera festival. This year's Opera Festival coincides with the great historical node of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and classic works such as "Honghu Red Guards" are sung again, reminiscing with new and old audiences and resonating the national spirit. Liu Lewei, a young teacher at Jinggangshan Road Primary School in Qingdao:
"I feel that the influence of red themes on young people is more profound, and for young people, it is easier for people to accept this (red) thing than in previous years."
On the evening of October 26, "Honghu Red Guards" will continue to be staged at the Qingdao Phoenix Voice Grand Theater, and a team of experts from the national industry will watch the performance on the spot, and on the morning of the 27th, the "Honghu Red Guards" "One Drama, One Comment" activity will be launched.
