In 1959, He Zhanhao and Chen Gang composed the violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" based on the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which was first performed at the Lyceum Theatre in Shanghai, with Yu Lina as the violin soloist. The most famous violin piece ever made in China, it completed the genesis of symphonic music nationalization. Later, the violin concerto "Liang Zhu" was adapted into several versions, with different instrumental versions, as well as song versions of various singing styles, as well as dance, acrobatics and other forms of performance.
Tonight at 20:30 on the stage of "Echo Loud", Bai Xue, Li Danyang, Mou Xuanfu, Li Hengda, and Guo Rong will jointly bring the "Liang Zhu" literary and artistic performance to everyone, presenting a shocking audio-visual performance full of national artistic heritage, bringing the legendary ancient love far away, with strings, with singing voices, and with dance postures, a little closer.
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is one of the oldest performed and most recorded bone plays on the Yue opera stage. From the floor singing book to the women's Yue opera, it has been practiced by generations of artists on the stage and has become a compulsory spectator drama for Yue opera students and Danjiao actors.
Yue opera xiaosheng Bai Xue began to study Yue opera at the age of 12, and the first Yue opera he came into contact with was "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". The poignant love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai planted a seed of truth, goodness and beauty for the young and ignorant Bai Xue at that time, making her feel that life was pure and beautiful.
In this program, Bai Xuejian, who began to study Yue opera at the age of 12, and Li Danyang sang the classic singing section of "Eighteen Sending Each Other" on the same stage for the first time. "Gently lotus leaf clear pond, Mandarin ducks in pairs and pairs", beautiful affectionate words goodbye, will touch your inner world.
In 1986, Mou Xuanfu brought the song "Butterfly" to the Spring Festival Gala stage, and for a time the streets were known. Today, he still turns into a butterfly for Liang Zhu with a thousand voices and cries of sorrow in the human world.
China's first double classical dance "Liang Zhu" was created and born in 1987 by the famous dancer Li Hengda, and after 30 years, the dance drama "Liang Zhu" was presented to the audience in 2017. In the past 30 years, Li Hengda has been interpreting the story of "Liang Zhu" with dance.
Since coming to the United States in 1990, Li Hengda, who has watched a lot of American classic ballet, has always been worried about "Liang Zhu": "I always hope that one day "Liang Zhu" will also become a classic work of Chinese dance. "This year, Li Hengda toured the United States with "Liang Zhu" as he wished, and many American audiences fell for it and cried out in shock." That's why I say that Liang Zhu is not just Chinese, it belongs to the world. ”
When she was 3 years old, Guo Rong took over a violin he made by hand from her father, and the first song her father taught her was "Liang Zhu".
When she was a child, Guo Rong did not know how to understand the love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and she took herself and her father to understand and play "Liang Zhu" every time.
Nowadays, she can already grasp the emotions of the performance very well, but her father has ascended to the immortal, and she can only use every "Liang Zhu" to comfort her father who is far away in heaven.
