SHANGHAI YUE OPERA
​上海越剧

The distinguishing feature of Shanghai Yue Opera is its lyrical and poetic style, which incorporates all five aspects of stage production - scriptwriting, directing, performance, music and design. As a performing art, it is a good marriage of abstraction and realism. Chinese classical literature and history passed down generations through folklores form the basis of its repertoire. There are also elements of day-to-day living about it.


In performance, it appeals to the audience with its elegance, sensitive yet earthy rendering. It has its roots in the life of the people without losing the successful formula of operatic music. The vocal style is lyrical, expressive, appealing to the ear and touching to the heart. The scenery and props, costumes, and creation of stage personae are very much in Chinese painting tradition. The visual appeal is obvious: tasteful, colourful and invites imagination. This opera's genre is like a rare and fragrant bloom from the Chinese opera garden where hundreds of species grow and thrive.

 

越剧,目前为中国第二大戏曲剧种。 上海越剧独特的魅力在于它的歌词如诗,曲调婉转柔美。作为一门表演艺术,它完美的结合了抽象与现实,融合了舞台制作的五大元素 - 编剧、导演、表演、音乐和美术设计。剧目灵感大多来自中国文学与历史,世代相传的民间传说。近代的剧目也加入了不少日常生活的元素。
 

上海越剧也是一种音乐歌剧,表演以优雅、敏感而又朴实的呈现方式,反映了人民的生活。抒情的声乐风格,加上富有感染力的声音,总让人觉得绕梁三日,不绝于耳。除此之外,服装、布景、道具、舞台人物的塑造都充满着传统艺术的气息。一出越剧表演,绝对称得上是一场视觉与听觉上的飨宴。中国戏曲就像是种在园里数百种的植物一样,繁衍生息。上海越剧就像是一朵即稀有而又芬芳的花朵,等待你去发现。
