Peanuts and melon seeds have been arranged, gaiwan tea has been brewed, and the gongs and drums of Sichuan Opera on the stage have also been beaten...... and Chongqing's cultural tourism consumer products have been renewed during the "May Day" holiday! On May 1, the immersive urban tourism resident performance "Intoxicating Sichuan Opera" created by the Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theater met with the general public and tourists at the Chongqing Sichuan Opera Art Center as scheduled.
At the scene, Sichuan opera tricks such as kicking hands (flower guns), kicking pleats, dancing water sleeves, changing faces and spitting fire were staged one after another, and the audience was fascinated. According to reports, this performance is carefully created by Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theater, aiming to further activate the Sichuan Opera performance market, enhance the influence and reputation of Sichuan Opera art, enrich the supply of Chongqing cultural tourism products, and boost the quality and upgrading of the city's cultural tourism and leisure consumption.
At 5 p.m. on the 1st, the show started on time. When the upstream news reporter walked into the small theater of the Chongqing Sichuan Opera Art Center, the first thing he felt was that the audience was seating arranged - ordinary seats were replaced by bamboo chairs around multiple tables, as mentioned at the beginning of this article, the tables were already full of peanuts, melon seeds and gaiwan tea. Drinking tea and listening to the opera, it's so comfortable......
The whole "Intoxicating Sichuan Opera" is divided into three parts: spicy Sichuan style, Ba Yun Sichuan love, and skill Sichuan color, and the duration is carefully designed to be about 1 hour. Classic clips such as "Viewing from the Cave", "Pijin Rolling Lantern" and "Bluestone Mountain" are all condensed.
After the performance began, "Bluestone Mountain" was the first to be staged. The mighty and domineering generals appeared on the stage, and the applause and applause of the audience never stopped. The nine-tailed fox demon and the heavenly general's "kicking hand (flower gun)" is even more dizzying.
As soon as the scene turned, entering the second part of Ba Yun Sichuan Love, Sichuan Opera Hua Dan's "introductory repertoire" "Good in the World" led the debut. The tactful singing and superb Lingzi skills vividly portray the scene of the white eel fairy girl leading the fairies to row the lotus leaf boat, surface and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world.
In the Sichuan color part, the Sichuan opera harlequin's housekeeping play "Pijin Rolling Lantern" is full of humor. Pijin's lazy and dislike and "rake ears" image jumped on the stage, causing laughter and applause from the scene.
As the two most prestigious stunts of Sichuan opera, face changing and spitting fire made their final appearance at the scene. When the performance was rising, there were also actors who walked straight from the stage into the audience and sent their faces to everyone. The audience's exclamations resounded throughout the theater.
"The goddess scattered flowers are so beautiful, I especially like the way the water sleeves dance......" After the performance, Ms. Feng and her daughter told reporters that this time to see "Intoxicating Sichuan Opera" is also their dream journey, "We have long wanted to come to the scene to see the change of face with our own eyes, and today we have fulfilled our wish!"
The performance of "Intoxicating Sichuan Opera" will continue until May 5, starting at 17:00 every day, at the small theater of the Sichuan Opera Art Center of Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theater. For relevant ticketing information, citizens and tourists can learn about it in the official WeChat mini-program of Chongqing Sichuan Theater.
