Recently, 20 "seventh-generation heirs" of Liyang Tin Opera Troupe participated in the learning achievement report performance and final examination in the rehearsal hall of Jiangsu Provincial Drama School, and professional teachers of provincial drama schools, parents of students and relevant personnel of the Municipal Rong Media Center witnessed the growth and changes of students on the spot.
Moving legs, shooting geese, exploring the sea... There are professional moves with plates and eyes, and the singing voice with a straight and round voice comes, and there is no timidity in the face of the crowd, which is the style of the "seventh generation of Liyang tin opera", and the professional teachers in the rehearsal hall and the relevant personnel of the Municipal Rong Media Center have seen it one after another.
"The children are not only tall, but after a year of professional training, the singing voice is more charming, the one move and one style are more similar, compared with before, they have grown a lot, and the young face is more calm and strong." Hu Xing, head of the Municipal Tin Opera Troupe, said after watching the children's report performance.
"I have loved tin opera since I was a child, because my sister also studied tin opera, and my family often put tin opera singing sections, and I felt very beautiful when I first came into contact with it. Tin opera "seventh generation" Tian Shiyu told reporters that they all said that interest is the best teacher, so I like tin opera, so I cherish the opportunity to learn more and practice harder.
One minute on stage, ten years offstage. After the 5-hour-long exam of "Birth and Death, Singing and Doing", Zhu Kexin, the "seventh generation of the tin opera", said with a little regret: "I feel that although I can perform today, my body movements have not played out the level of the usual class." She said: "I still remember when I first started school, I didn't know much about tin opera, sometimes I would sing the wrong tone and out of tune, but my singing teacher, Mr. Xu, always patiently helped me correct it over and over again, which helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to her." "Learning does not forget the grace of teachers, which is also what Hu Xing has always emphasized with small inheritors." Seeing their rapid progress, Hu Xing was relieved and led the students and parents to bow deeply to the professional teachers on the spot.
"From the beginning of the general enrollment to the current focus of training and improvement, here is really inseparable from the dedication of each teacher." Because we recruit students from elementary school graduates, there is a process of adaptation to both physical growth and professional contact, and this process is not easy. Zhang Zhaohui, director of the drama department of the provincial drama school, told reporters that the opera profession is a systematic project in terms of talent training.
It is understood that these 20 "seventh generations" of tin opera are commissioned by the city's tin opera troupe to be trained by the provincial drama school. After graduating from 6 years of study, the trainees passed the examination and entered the municipal tin opera troupe and became the future tin opera rookie.
In recent years, the Municipal Tin Opera Troupe has combined Liyang characteristic culture to innovate and create high-quality projects, creating and arranging a number of high-quality works with local characteristics such as "Waiting for You to Go Home", "Love of Tianmu Lake", "Golden Melon Seeds", etc., and won national awards for many times. "As a young student in the new era, it is not enough to have a solid basic skill of tin opera, and if you want to develop it for a long time, it is also essential to have a high level of cultural knowledge." Hu Xing said that tin opera, as a representative of local traditional culture and a national intangible cultural heritage, has a long history, and only when students have a certain cultural heritage can they deeply understand the cultural connotation of tin opera and better pass on tin opera.
In the next step, the two sides will further strengthen cooperation and cultivate the "seventh generation" of Liyang tin opera from both professional and cultural aspects. For the future, Hu Xing and Zhang Zhaohui are full of confidence: "The children will be able to meet our expectations and become qualified tin opera descendants." Source: Liyang Rong Media Center.
