Li Shengsu plays Cheng Xue'e.
To commemorate the 130th anniversary of the birth of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang and the 90th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Mei Baojiu, the Mei School's classic drama "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" starring famous Peking opera performing artists Li Shengsu and Yu Kuizhi will soon be unveiled at the Hefei Grand Theater.
"The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" is the representative work of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. It is a witty, clever, fresh and elegant light comedy adapted from the "Preface to the Cycle" collected by the Qing Dynasty. It is a rare comedy work in the Mei School. The plot of the whole play is clever, the rhythm is brisk, and it is humorous. It not only has the interest of real life, but also is full of the beauty of artistic processing. A large part of the singing has been baptized over the years and has been widely circulated.
Yu Kuizhi plays Hong Gong.
In the drama, Li Shengsu plays Cheng Xue'e, who has both the dignity and elegance of Tsing Yi and the beauty and freshness of Huadan. Her eyes are like "a gifted man after three looks", her melancholy mood of "losing her marriage by mistake", and her bright and classic singing voice will definitely make her a hit. The audience was delighted. Hong Gong, played by Yu Kuizhi, has a cool demeanor, a strong singing voice, and a steady figure, which fully demonstrates the charm of Laosheng.
html On April 30, Li Shengsu and Yu Kuizhi will lead the National Peking Opera Company to the Hefei Grand Theater to bring the classic drama "The Phoenix Returns to the Nest" to the Hefei audience. Interested audiences can select seats and purchase tickets through the Hefei Grand Theater WeChat official account. (Text/Photo by Zhang Tong)
