After seven years of learning and practicing his true skills, the new opera star shows off his talents. On the evening of January 23, the special evening party "New Pistils Bloom in the Pear Orchard" hosted by the Hubei Provincial Performing Arts Group and Hubei Arts Vocational College and hosted by the Hubei Provincial Opera Art Theater was wonderfully staged at the Hubei Opera Art Center. The 157 "theater seedlings" trained in our province over a period of seven years amazed the audience with their brilliant performances and presented a youthful, elegant, warm and touching report performance to the audience.
In 2016, in order to cultivate reserve talents for Hubei opera, the Propaganda Department of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Department of Education, and the Provincial Department of Culture jointly issued a document to recruit a group of Chu Opera, Han Opera, and Huangmei Opera students for the Provincial Opera Art Theater from primary school graduates in the province. The students are trained by Hubei Vocational College of Art in accordance with the "5+2" (5-year technical secondary school, 2-year college) model. In 2022, these "theater seedlings" will finish their six years of study at school and work as interns in the theater. In 2023, they will graduate as scheduled and enter the professional stage.
After seven years of hard work, the school and the theater have worked together to cultivate and cultivate the opera. A group of ignorant children at that time have been reborn, accomplished in their studies, and become up-and-comers in opera.
reported that the performance was divided into three parts: "melodious piano sound", "classic inheritance" and "martial arts essence". The students performed on stage one after another. Beijing-Hu ensemble "Qin Yuan", Huangmei opera "The Consort" and "The Fairy Match", Chu opera "Standing on the Flower Wall", Han opera "The Drunken Concubine" excerpts, classic Han operas "Flower Drum" and "Exploring the Valley", Huangmei opera "Lu Yu" "Couple" "Watching Lanterns", excerpts from Chu operas "Breaking Cake" and "Catching Up with Meetings", as well as the essence of martial arts, opera chorus and other programs were performed in succession. The youthful and beautiful stage image, the passionate singing voice, and the thrilling and passionate martial arts performances won warm applause and cheers from the audience. The entire program is novel in arrangement, with both traditional charm and fashionable elements, fully displaying the fresh charm and vigorous style of Hubei local opera.
"Our artistic journey has just begun. Please rest assured that we have grown up. In the future, we will keep in mind the instructions and teachings and strive to realize the revitalization of Hubei opera art. Hubei opera has us!" At the end of the performance, the students made a speech The sonorous and powerful confession moved the whole audience.
"The performance was so wonderful, it was exciting to watch. This group of new opera performers are of good quality and have good skills. They are the successors to revitalizing the Wuhan Opera Pier." said Ms. Liu, a theater fan from Hankou. Many relatives and friends of the students who came here specially could not help but burst into tears after watching the performance.
Yang Jun, chairman of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a famous Huangmei Opera performing artist, has accompanied and cared for the growth of this group of "operating seedlings" for seven years, and is affectionately called "Mother Yang" by the students. Watching the performance on stage, she felt deeply excited and gratified, and couldn't help but think of the children when they first entered school: "The future of Hubei opera lies with them. I am full of confidence in them and in Hubei opera. "
The person in charge of the Provincial Opera Art Theater said that this party was not only a comprehensive display of the theater's talent team and comprehensive capabilities, but also a unique interpretation of the charm of Hubei's local opera culture. These 157 students are opera successors carefully selected and trained by the provincial party committee and the provincial government. I believe that with everyone's care and care, they will be able to grow better and faster and shine on a larger stage. (Hubei Daily reporter Nong Xinyu, correspondent Ding Yanhong)
