On February 23, "Dragon Walking, Spring in the Liyuan - "Good Show Shandong" was hosted by the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and hosted by the Shandong Liuzi Opera Art Protection and Inheritance Center (Shandong Liuzi Opera Troupe) and the Shandong Local Opera Alliance. "2024 Shandong Lantern Festival Opera Gala" was staged at the Opera Hall of the Shandong Provincial Capital Grand Theater.
The party gathered outstanding young and middle-aged actors from across the province. With the exquisite design of the digital stage, they celebrated the traditional Chinese festivals with the beauty of China’s excellent traditional culture and created a novel opera party that attracted many admiring audiences.
At the scene, the actors' exquisite skills and distinctive singing won bursts of applause from the audience. Especially in the opening show "Descendants of the Dragon", two dragon dance teams appeared next to the audience after the lights came on, igniting the excitement of the audience.
Immediately afterwards, Peking Opera, Liuqin Opera, Lu Opera, Wuyin Opera and other Shandong operas appeared one by one. Shandong Bangzi's traditional play "Two Wolf Mountains" interprets the strong friendship between the Song Dynasty God of War Yang Jiye and his horse after being trapped in the Two Wolf Mountains, and shows the heroic spirit of the Yang family generals in adversity.
While showing the charm of opera, the party also actively looked for breakthrough points in the inheritance and innovation of opera. Among them are the "National Quintessence of Peking Opera" that showcases the charm of Peking Opera, and the "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" jointly created by local opera newcomers. Intelligent technology is constantly developing and integrated with the art of opera. The realistic-themed work Liuzi Opera "Dahe Granary" uses a new way of technology empowerment to express the vitality and creativity of stage art works, making the audience feel as if they are immersed in the scene. The situation in the opera brings innovative integration and breakthrough expression of "wisdom and drama".
In addition, in order to support the "Rural Revitalization Qilu Model - Every Village Has Good Drama" activities and the "2024 Spring Festival Shandong Rural Culture Tourism Festival", the party also selected clips of short plays with rich and novel themes and styles, showing the grassroots level at the district and county levels.
