The article presents the history of the folk troupe from the 1930s to the early 21st cen-tury.Based on archives,documents and news materials at that time,the author traces back to the various stages of the establishment and activities of the Nanai National Folk Opera Troupe,and de-scribes its development trend.The article believes that the folk troupe,as the representative of mod-ern national performance forms,shows the combination of two language levels in its creation and per-formance styles at all stages,namely,the"tradition"associated with national and folk elements and the"modernity"produced under the influence of Russian and European professional troupes.
