Classics taking on a youthful approach
Print Edition
REPRESENTATIVE plays of Peking Opera master Shang Changrong will be performed by young up-and-coming artists at Shanghai Grand Theater and Yifu Theater.
The inheritance of Shang's trilogy “Cao Cao and Yang Xiu,” “Grand Occasion in the Golden Years of Zhenguan” and “Honest Official Yu Chenglong” has been a project of Shanghai Peking Opera Company since 2015 to cultivate young performing artists.
“Zhenguan” refers to the flourishing period of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) between years 627 and 649. This was the heyday of the dynasty as well as one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese history.
It was a period of unprecedented economic and social prosperity in which people were high-spirited, open-minded, and willing to try new things.
Shang, who debuted in “Cao Cao and Yang Xiu” some 30 years ago, has been invited as the art director of the new productions.
The 77-year-old veteran says the trilogy used to win many theater awards, and he hopes that young performers of today will never lose their passion for art.
“The classics will take on a new look with new artistic flavors,” says Shan Yuejin, director of Shanghai Peking Opera Company. “Young performers have received special vocal and acting coaching from Shang to depict the historical characters.”
