Peking opera needs to be accessed by more ordinary people
Peking Opera is an elegant performing art. However, with the rapid development of Internet information technology and the quantification and intelligent push of entertainment products, the narrowing of the audience of Peking Opera is an unavoidable real problem. More and more audiences favor popular songs, film and television dramas, short videos and other entertainment products. How to develop Peking Opera in the context of the current situation, the age of Peking Opera audiences is relatively old, and the conversion rate of young audiences is decreasing, which is a topic worth thinking about in the theater industry. Teacher Du Peng, a famous Peking opera artist, has been thinking and exploring the popularization of Peking opera, and his busy and selfless footsteps have always been actively exploring and pursuing, and he has been tireless and achieved outstanding results.
Xiqu not only needs to carry out precise publicity and promotion in the audience group of opera fans, but also should jump out of the circle of opera fans and go to the group of the broad masses of the people to publicize. Therefore, the publicity forms, expression methods, and means of expression of opera products should be considered. What kind of opera products are provided for the audience of opera fans, and what kind of opera products are provided for friends who have not been exposed to opera? How can we circle more opera fans among ordinary people, more audiences who do not hate opera, and more audiences who can't do opera fans and ticket holders, but love opera? These are all worth thinking about and practicing by opera practitioners.
Beijing Opera House will always pay attention to practitioners engaged in the popularization of opera----- Peking Opera master Du Peng, more interviews please stay tuned.
