Opera actors are the main body of opera performance art, and their deductive ability and performance ability are the important foundation to promote the vigorous development of opera art. In order to better shape the role image, we must use appropriate performance skills to perform effectively, especially pay attention to fully understand and grasp the personality characteristics of related roles, so as to ensure better shaping of specific role images. Among them, supporting the role is an important business in traditional Chinese opera, and it is also necessary to systematically show its artistic charm according to the basic expressions of "Four Merits" and "Five Methods" and its own artistic characteristics.

Firstly, the roles in Lu's plays are summarized.

(A) Overview of Lu Opera

Shandong Opera is a kind of opera with regional characteristics in Shandong, China, which reached its peak in 1950s and 1960s. During this period, a number of classic plays, such as Borrowing the Year, Xian Sao, Li Er Sao remarried, and a number of famous Lu opera actors, such as He and Lang Xianfen, were born. With its vigorous development and extensive influence, Luxi Opera has been rated as a national intangible cultural heritage. As a local opera, Lu Opera has the artistic characteristics of elegance, simplicity, closeness to the masses and natural fluency. Its elegance and vulgarity are mainly reflected in the characteristics of both Qupai and Banqiang, and the tunes are pleasant, simple, smooth and flexible. Corresponding accompaniment instruments can be divided into martial arts field and literary field, and some western orchestral instruments are effectively integrated, which makes the accompaniment instruments present the characteristics of simplicity and beauty as a whole. In the process of singing, Lu Opera mainly uses the real voice, and for some high notes, the combination of real voice and falsetto will be adopted accordingly, so that the final melody will be smooth and natural, while keeping clear in the process of enunciation, making the whole singing beautiful and pleasant.

(B) the characteristics of Dan's role in Lu's drama

Dan in Lu Opera can be divided into Lao Dan, Cai Dan, Hua Dan, Wudan, Qingyi and Guimendan. The specific features are as follows: First, Lao Dan. It mainly plays middle-aged and elderly women in traditional Chinese opera, who are old in performance and steady and generous in singing, thinking and doing, such as the role of "She Taijun" in Mu Zhong. Second, Wu Dan. Women who mainly play martial arts should ensure their agility, such as the role of "Yang Paifeng" in "Playing Jiao Zan". Third, Cai Dan. It mainly plays a woman who likes gossip, is vicious, hateful and cunning, and most of her performances and lines come from real life, such as the role of "Diao" in "Little Valley Fairy". Fourth, Hua Dan. Mainly play enthusiastic, lively and lovely young people or young women, ensuring clear articulation, sweet singing and charming and flexible figure. Fifth, Tsing Yi, which mainly plays adult women, generally attaches great importance to singing skills, requiring delicate, clear, smooth and euphemistic singing, such as the role of "Lan Ruilian" in Beijing-Taiwan Association. Six, boudoir Dan, mainly plays a poor educated girl or educated lady, singing has the characteristics of touching and euphemistic, paying attention to the use of figure and sleeves.

Second, the performing arts characteristics of Lu Opera actresses

(A) the artistic characteristics of the catwalk

During the performance of Lu Opera, the catwalk is the most basic way of performance, which is also commonly known as "walking" in the field of opera, that is, actors need to perform with their feet during the performance. In order to effectively show the role played by Dandan, we must first walk well to ensure that the characters can be vividly and intuitively displayed. The characterization in Dandan's performance is directly reflected in the performance of Dandan's catwalk. The specific expression needs to be combined with the age characteristics, personality characteristics and surrounding environment characteristics of the role. Different Dandan roles need to show their specific roles perfectly through the effective use of catwalks. It is also based on this requirement and characteristics that a differentiated catwalk for different roles has been formed.

For example, for the role of Tsing Yi, because it mainly shows adult women, it generally attaches great importance to singing skills, so it is necessary to pay more attention to stability in the use of catwalks; The boudoir should be shown in small steps, showing a gentle and delicate typhoon; Wu Dan should emphasize the smooth, quick, powerful and rigid catwalk. In addition, during the performance of Lu Opera, the catwalk also needs to show a strong local color of Shandong, so as to make the catwalk more expressive. Therefore, as far as the catwalk art of Dan Jiao in Lu Opera is concerned, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the characteristics of Dan Jiao and the performance content of Lu Opera works, adopt appropriate catwalk skills, vividly shape the image of Dan Jiao and show its real artistic charm.

(B) the artistic characteristics of the characters

In the role performance of Lu Opera, characters are also a very important performing art, which is mainly manifested in the movements, skills and postures, such as the connection of different movements, the coherence of front and back movements and the display of different postures. In the process of role interpretation, Dandan's actress should pay attention to the catwalk movements, the use of eyes and the throwing of sleeves, so that the characters in Dandan's performance can form an organic coordination with the hand movements, catwalk movements and the use of eyes. For Lu Opera actresses, graceful posture has an important influence on the final performance.

Therefore, in the actual performance process of Lu opera actresses, we should pay attention to adopting appropriate physical expression methods to effectively show the strong local color of Shandong, so as to better highlight the history, customs and culture of Shandong. Based on this, Shandong opera dancers should not only learn the skills of body performance, but also be influenced by opera aesthetics to ensure their continuous improvement of temperament. At the same time, they should pay attention to effectively adjusting their body expressions to ensure their harmony and elegance. Only by being good at using these harmonious and elegant body language can we effectively show the characteristics of Dandan, the personality characteristics and emotional characteristics of different roles, and better show the real charm of Dandan's performing arts and continuously improve the overall effect of Dandan's performance.

(C) the artistic characteristics of Nianbai

Singing vernacular Chinese is a dramatic expression of people's speech in daily life, which is also involved in the performance of Luxi actresses. It is the basic expression of lines in China traditional opera, and it is an important part of the opera, which needs the attention of actors in the performance. The art of singing white in Lu Opera needs to be beautified and processed at the artistic level to form an artistic language form. The aria in Lu's plays also has local characteristics, and dancers also need to express local characteristics with the help of effective expression of aria, such as using aria art to express Shandong's cultural customs and language style.

In addition, it is difficult to express the chanting of Lu opera, and the local characteristics of Lu opera itself determine that it attaches great importance to the effective expression of chanting. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the artistic expression effect of chanting through effective expression methods, so as to add highlights to the performance of Lu opera. If Dandan performers want to improve the overall performance effect, they must pay more attention to chanting and hard training, and strive to make themselves accurate in tone and pronunciation expression, showing local charm, thus improving the artistic effect of Dandan's performance as a whole.

(D) the artistic characteristics of singing

Singing is the most critical link in the performance of Lu Opera, which has a decisive influence on the final performance effect. Therefore, in order to ensure the overall effect of Lu opera performance, we must pay attention to accurately grasp the singing skills. In the process of singing, the role of the actress in Lu Opera is mainly characterized by the combination of rap and lyric, which is similar to the artistic expression of "rap" in Quyi, so as to highlight the dramatic function of Lu Opera itself, as follows:

1. Realize the organic combination of words and songs in the process of speaking and singing. When singing songs, Lu Opera and Dance often adopt the way of speaking and singing. With the help of this rap expression, the lyrics in the song can be effectively expressed. In rap, Dandan's role in Lu Opera is particularly dependent on chanting. By adopting this rap expression of "singing while talking", various voices can be organically integrated, and it is easier to show the authenticity characteristics of the traditional Chinese opera art itself, such as singing a sentence before reading a sentence, or singing a sentence after reading more.

2. Realize the organic combination of words and songs in the process of speaking and singing. Mainly refers to pay attention to the music melody and the tone of lyrics, so that actresses can effectively integrate into the music melody when rap lyrics, which can give people a feeling of "singing". In the process of singing, musical melody, like the oral tone in the expression of lyrics, can strengthen the expressive force of lyrics, and it is easier to show the strong local characteristics of Shandong with this artistic expression. For example, in Wang's "Borrowing", the duet covers the duet aria, the flowing aria, and the fast two-board aria. When Dan Jiao sings, it can make the overall music performance more colorful and unpretentious, and avoid being dull and dull, thus showing the strong local characteristics of Shandong.

3. Realize the organic combination of words and songs in the process of speaking and singing. Dan Jiao is a very unique role in Lu's plays. The supporting aria in many tracks are arranged according to the contradictions and conflicts in the story. At this time, oral language is generally used to explain the background of the story and the relationship between the characters involved in the story, and Lu opera aria is also used to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Specifically, you can use various singing boards such as the fast second board, flowing water, stacked board and scattered board, so that through alternation, to sum up, Dan Jiao is a very important role in the performance of Lu Opera, and its performance is directly related to the final performance of Lu Opera. In the actual performance of the role of Lu Opera, we should pay attention to the artistic expression of characters, aria, catwalk and aria, so as to ensure that the local characteristics and artistic charm of Lu Opera performance can be highlighted and the overall effect of Lu Opera performance can be continuously improved.
