The Feeling of Appreciating Fuzhou Opera

2013-9-3 23:08| 发布者: 剧团二伯| 查看: 940| 评论: 0|原作者: Johnson Lin

This was the first time experience of my life. I write this mainly for potential interested viewers from foreign land trying to find something culturally rich and interesting to enjoy. I am a Chinese by birth but lived in the US for most of my life. I hope my referral would help you to add this program into your China Tour itinerary. Ya, you!

Not only this was my first, it also the first for my two brothers, aged 62 and 79. 

Minju, meaning Fuzhou Opera, took after Beijing Opera where actors not only have to sing but perform with their body languages such as the movement of hands, fingers, eyes, etc.  The make-ups are not as exotic as Beijing Opera and costumes are old fashion but appropriate.  Scripts are mostly created from old and historical stories, but colored with modern language and sometime even added commonly understood English words so audience could chime in laugh simultaneously.  What makes us the biggest impression was the music coming out of the front stage.  There was actually a whole team of orchestra, many string instruments were played along side with those chime and drums which are what the old fashion Opera's I used to see on TV.

Two actresses and one actor in this play, they are three of out of a total of 4 nationally certified Class One opera performers in this area.  The leading lady's voice was just wonderful. She sang effortlessly throughout the whole episol and that was her real voice (i.e. not forcing into high pitch like many western performers).  The other lad performer Ms Chen actually is the director of this Opera organization and theatre.  Boy, she was a performer, that her eyes, hands, body movement... showed that she is a real pro.

There was that funny and heart warming insert of plays by other supporting casts that the audiences liked. I have no doubt you will laugh even without understanding the local dialect, simply by watching their moves and shows.

Not far from the Opera House, there are a couple of hot spring hotels and massage places that you can enjoy after the evening culture event.  As a matter of fact, Fuzhou is the only place in China that is populated with high quality hot spring, something rare in China, if you are considering China to your nest visit.

It is long time ago, 1997 Oct 24, I remember we were received by President Jiang.

这是我毕生中的第一次精彩体验。我写这篇文章主要是针对潜在的有兴趣的来自异乡的观众,那些力图寻找享受一些文化内涵丰富而有趣的观众。

我出生于中国上海,在美国生活了最久。我希望我的推荐能帮助并促成您的中国之旅行程。耶!

这不仅是我第一次回国体验闽剧,我的两个兄弟同样也是第一次,他们年龄分别为62岁和79岁。 

闽剧,就是福州戏,演员不仅需要念唱,还有的丰富舞台表演,如走台步走圆场,出色的手势动作、眼睛眼神等。演出化妆和京剧一样,不搞标新立异并且服饰是传统古装,恰到好处。大多的剧本是依据历史的老故事而编制的,用现代的语言着色,有时甚至添加口语英语单词,以博得观众阵阵的笑声。最大的印象是飘出来的音乐。实际上是剧团的乐队演奏的,许多弦乐器及旁边那些磬和鼓在演奏,类似我在电视上曾看过的时尚歌剧。

这部《梅玉配》戏中有两位女主演和一个男主演,他们三个均获得了戏剧界国家最高奖项“梅花奖”。女主角的声音真是太好了,被人称为“金嗓子”。她毫不费力的演唱响彻整个剧场,那是她的真实的声音(不像许多西方演员那样强扯着高音嗓子来表演)。另外一位女演员陈女士实际上是这剧院的组织者和戏剧导演。那男演员,他的有神眼睛,灵动双手与身体... 一切证明他是专业的。还有那些滑稽和温馨的、观众喜欢的其他配角。

我毫不怀疑你将会心情愉悦,即使没有了解当地的方言,仅看他们的动作和表演。

距离闽剧院不远处,有一个温泉饭店和桑拿房,你可以享受夜生活和其他文化活动。事实上,福州是中国唯一具有高品质温泉的地方,这在中国并不多见! 如果你正在考虑到中国来访问的话,成行吧!
