In the lecture, director Sun Guiyuan also invited Dai Zhongyu, Hu Bin, Zhu Hong, Liu Lei and other outstanding young Peking Opera actors to perform on-site performances, which more vividly and vividly showed the artistic characteristics of the Peking Opera "Emperor Girl Flower". Chen Zhenjiang and Li Jiayi, outstanding young Cantonese opera actors from Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Theatre, also served as guest performers in the lecture, and performed the "Xiang Yao" fragment of the classic Cantonese opera "Emperor Girl Flower" on the spot.
Peking Opera "Emperor Girl Flower" is a new repertoire created and rehearsed by the National Peking Opera House based on the legend of the Qing Dynasty and classic Cantonese opera of the same name. "This lecture can be said to be the collision and exchange between Peking Opera and Cantonese opera to continue the previous generations of artistic masters. There are more than 300 kinds of dramas in the country, and the regional culture and history are not the same, but Peking Opera and local opera are of the same origin, and have always learned and grown from each other. Sun Guiyuan said that the adaptation and creation of "Imperial Girl Flower" is a classic performance of Peking Opera's ability to absorb local drama genres, such as "Mei Lanfang adapted and transplanted the Yu opera "Mu Guiying Hangs The Marshal", Liu Changyu adapted the Puxian drama "Spring Grass Breaking into the Hall", and adapted the Yang opera "Hundred Years of Hanging Shuai" as "Yangmen Female General". ”
Sun Guiyuan frankly said that the adaptation of "Emperor Girl Flower" is a big challenge, "The so-called classic is known and loved by the audience, and it is not an easy task for the audience to accept the adapted classic." Adapting classics is not simply copying, focusing on adaptation, not only to retain the essence of the original work, but also to innovate in the form of expression. ”
"Falling flowers are full of sky and closed moonlight..." Chen Zhenjiang and Li Jiayi, outstanding young Cantonese opera actors from the Cantonese Opera House in Guangzhou, performed the "Xiang Yao" fragment of the classic Cantonese opera "Emperor Girl Flower" at the lecture site. If the Cantonese opera "Emperor Girl Flower" is a classic, then the "Xiang Yao" in the play is a classic in the classic. For the adaptation of this highlight, Sun Guiyuan said: "'XiangYao' is the climax of the whole play, I used the cello as a prelude to show the feelings of the two people who cherished each other, and Princess Changping bowed to Zhou Shixian twice, showing her love and righteousness. ”
