The Fusion of Tradition and Modernity——A Review of the Gan Nan Tea-picking Opera The Long March of One Person
The Gan Nan tea-picking opera The Long March of One Person carves a unique path by starting with a minor character to narrate the individual's spiritual growth against the backdrop of a grand revolutionary context,democratizing the expression of the Long March spirit and reflecting the integration of traditional Chinese moral qualities with modern revolu-tionary spirit.In character development,the opera breaks away from the traditional trio performance model,expanding the conventional"two female roles plus a clown"or"two clowns plus one female role"to include two clowns plus two male and female roles respectively,innovating and developing traditional role categories and creating new singing styles for char-acters of the red revolution.In terms of stage art,while adhering to the essence of opera and highlighting the characteristics of the Gan Nan tea-picking opera,it also draws horizontally from opera,ballet,drama,musical theater,shadow puppetry,and acrobatics,mixing,recombining,and adapting various art styles.This fusion of traditional opera with modern artistic tech-niques endows the stage with poetic imagery,enhancing the fluid and elegant beauty of opera's freehand expression and per-formance.
