China Traditional Opera Talent Exhibition

Masteel University for the Aged is a national model university for the elderly and a paradise for retirees. Here, we choose one or more courses that suit us according to our hobbies and specialties, so as to satisfy our desire of being unwilling to lag behind, seeking knowledge, being healthy, being happy and making friends after retirement. Before the end of each semester, the school will organize various departments to carry out teaching demonstration activities, and students will show you the essence of what they have learned this semester.

No, after a semester of intense study, it's time to show the last teaching. On the afternoon of June 19, it's our turn to show the talents of Chinese opera. Teachers and classmates all arrived at school early, and everyone helped each other to make up carefully and make preparations before the performance.

Although we are over 500 years old, we are really dressed up.

? Today, we are both actors and spectators, and the students are sitting in their seats happily, waiting. We will report the learning results of a semester to the school with beautiful songs and dances.

With the announcer's crisp and loud voice saying' Good afternoon, teachers and students', the report performance began.

? The first performance is Huangmei Song's dance Huangmei Xiang in our Huangmei Opera Performance Class. Huangmei Opera originated in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, but it grew up in Anqing, Anhui Province. After several generations' efforts, it has developed from a local opera to one of the five major operas in China.

With a burst of classical elegant music with sweet tunes, a group of beautiful women in emerald costumes and umbrellas slowly floated onto the stage and danced in the clear and confident songs of the actors.

Alas, the fragrance of Huangmei floats in my songs, ah, in my hometown, alas, the fragrance of Huangmei floats in my heart. "

This first program caught the audience's heart, and the whole venue was suddenly silent, and everyone was watching attentively.

? The next performance is Beijing Opera Farewell My Concubine. As we know, Peking Opera is one of the five major operas in China, with Xipi and Huanger as the lead singer, accompanied by huqin and gongs and drums, and it is recognized as a national quintessence at all times and in all countries.

Students from Beijing Opera Singing Class and Beijing Opera Performing Class appeared on the stage in beautiful costumes, which immediately aroused applause from the audience. You know, this is a group of retired old people who are at home around their children and grandchildren on weekdays.

Singers' singing and performance reveal their love for Peking Opera and their earnest attitude towards learning. They vividly performed the concubine in the classic drama Farewell My Concubine by gentle sword dancing skills. The so-called one minute on stage and ten years off stage shows that they work hard on weekdays. No wonder everyone salutes them.

After you sing, I will go on stage. After enjoying the wonderful performances of Huangmei Opera and Peking Opera, our school's Yue Opera singing class and performance class will debut for the first time. Yue Opera is the second largest opera in China. It is characterized by lyricism, beautiful singing in Athens and delicate Jiangnan spirit. It has the reputation of "China Opera" abroad.

Our classmates brought you the chorus of Yue Opera "Lotus Lantern: Missing Parents" and "He Wenxiu: Heart to Heart". I saw that their costumes were beautiful, their voices were beautiful, and their performances were really touching. They performed a boxing filial piety with Saburo's earth-shattering consciousness of saving their mother.

It shows that under the guidance of their teachers, they study imitation seriously on weekdays and spend a lot of time and energy on today's program. The audience applauded!

The performance classes of various operas scored twice and performed for everyone again. Our Huangmei Opera Class presented a chorus of "Plum Blossom Love" for boys and girls:

? Snowflakes are falling, plum trees are in a forest, simple and elegant, simple and plain, free from dust. They walked around in the snow with their harps in their arms, looking for incense and plum blossoms in the snow. The lyrics are gorgeous and the melody is beautiful. When singing, the male voice is affectionate and elegant, the female voice is loud and the shy answer is not lost. The audience seemed to see Merlin in winter, the snow was flying all over the sky, the red plum was fragrant, and a pair of handsome men and beautiful women sang on the piano, which also reminded us of the sweet love memories when we were young. This program is deeply loved by everyone.

? Next, there is a popular song "Husband and wife both go home". Many viewers and performers under the stage sing softly together, and the whole venue is peaceful and festive.

Next, the students in the body performance class of Yue Opera will bring you the performance of Yue Opera "The West Chamber: Qin Xin":

Unless the pace is exquisite, unless the skirt is dragged around, unless the wind blows the iron eaves forward, unless the bell of Wang Fan Palace rings at night, the actor is simple and pure, and his singing is beautiful and euphemistic, which makes Cui Yingying's sincere emotional expression make people cry. The students are really amateurs, performing at a professional level.

? "Lian Jinfeng" and "Champion Media" in the Peking Opera singing class and performance class, in the carefully organized singing by the students, we saw the sincere filial piety of taking risks for the mother and the beautiful love story of the princess and Yang in the Song Dynasty who went through hardships and finally got married. Let's really appreciate the characteristics of Beijing opera, which are "many melodies jumping, ups and downs, and various rhythm forms". The profound quintessence of Chinese culture really lived up to expectations.

With the sincere unity and joint efforts of teachers and students, the drama special at the end of the 20 18 spring semester came to an end. Through the talent show, we have a new understanding of each play and a better goal for the next semester. After the performance, our students from Huangmei Opera Class got together to take a group photo and wished "Happy Holidays" and "See you next semester".
