Key words: the artistic characteristics of traditional Chinese opera performance?
Chaozhou Opera, like other operas in China, has the characteristics of opera performance: a set of performance programs is used to express and shape the characters on the stage, that is, "stylization, normalization, exaggeration" and so on. ?
China traditional opera takes singing, reciting, doing and playing as its means of expression, and the industry has its own performances, including singing, doing, reciting and playing. China traditional operas classify all kinds of characters in ancient life and generalize them into professions. There are strict and standardized procedures for birth, Dan, ugliness and purity. China traditional opera sets out from its profession, and shapes its stage image by singing and doing. Therefore, a Chinese opera actor can't just perform programs and transactions on the stage, but should play different roles vividly, that is to say, an actor must have a play in his heart if he wants to enter the role. Only according to the requirements of the characters' personality and the specified situation can some programs be combined with the logic of life and stage to create an independent stage image with some specific thoughts and feelings. ?
In the national drama performance program, the individual performance boundary of the program industry is quite particular, and the unity and difference of the aesthetic feeling, rhythm and orientation of the performance are rich and colorful, such as gentle and charming teenagers; Hua Dan is naive and lively, small and exquisite; Tsing Yi is dignified and steady; The boudoir is soft and graceful and affectionate; Clowns are funny; Wudan, Vu Thang is mighty; Hard-faced, treacherous, insidious and so on, these are the stylization and standardization of Chinese drama.
The fan technique in Chao Opera's Ugly Necklace, the chair technique in Capture Sun Fu alive, the long sleeves in Du Shiniang, the ladder technique in Chai Fanghui, the silk dance in E E Ben Yue, the gauze hat technique in Zhao Chong Description, the umbrella technique in Peach Blossom Transition, and the sleeve spinning in Lulin Hui are all exaggerations of the traditional opera performance art. These performances are both procedural and characteristic, and even have special effects, which are also the characteristics of China traditional opera performances. ?
"Debut" is a unique exaggerated performance style of China traditional opera. Debut can make the expressions of different characters in different situations instantly and vividly printed in the hearts of the audience, and this expression is
The actions that have real feelings from the body are condensed into a point.
Chinese opera performance is different from drama and film performance, which requires actors to have both form and spirit. It expresses all the activities in their hearts on the outside through a high degree of refinement, and it should be accurately and vividly expressed through singing, reading, doing and playing programs, which should not only conform to the identity and personality of the characters, but also conform to the specific situation and be understood by everyone. Only in this way can the audience enjoy the beautiful art, which is also a major feature of China's traditional opera performance methods. ?
The exaggeration of traditional Chinese opera includes ellipsis, conciseness and amplification. For example, in order to avoid repetition, we use the line "That's why" to explain what has been clearly explained to the audience.
State what just happened and let the other person understand. So that the audience can understand and won't feel sloppy. ?
The other is expansion, such as: running a circus is said to have traveled 18 thousand miles; With four or eight warriors, you can represent thousands of troops and horses; Playing forty boards again is actually one, two, three, four, which means forty, and so on. As long as the performers are realistic, the audience will recognize them, which is the characteristic of traditional opera performances in China. The general elderly audience can accept the movements and exaggerated performance techniques of these programs and feel real. ?
Traditional Chinese opera performance is composed of a whole set of programs, which largely determines its virtuality. Many "virtual" actions replace reality with virtuality, complexity with simplicity, face with points, and whole with parts. For example: boating, riding, going up and down the mountain, going upstairs and downstairs, getting on and off, crossing bridges, opening and closing doors, opening and closing windows, etc. There is no physical object on the stage, but it is expressed by the actors' various appearances. In addition, there are "sign language" movements, which explain everything through the actor's figure, movements, gestures, facial expressions, especially the use of eyes, with the help of music instead of language. For example, Sun Yujiao (Hua Dan) in "Picking up Jade Bracelet" feeds and counts chickens with rice, and her hand is stabbed and bled due to inattention during embroidery, all of which are unique performance skills and functions of traditional Chinese opera. Compared with those over-realistic performances, these virtual actions are often more vivid and beautiful, and can stimulate the imagination of the audience.
I majored in drama performance, mainly playing Qingyi and Maiden Dan, playing Lao Dan and learning from Xiao Sheng. I learned it from the Kunqu teacher at 1960 and 196 1. elder brother
There are many differences between Kunqu Opera and Chaozhou Opera. Students in Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera all sing in a low voice (falsetto). Xiao Sheng gives the impression that he is handsome, which is embodied in gestures, figure, sleeves, fans, catwalk and so on. This project is very standardized. ?
1960, when Chaozhou Opera visited Cambodia for the first time, after watching all the repertoires performed abroad, Mr. Wang Kunlun, the head of Chaozhou Opera, said the following words: "Chaozhou Opera has exquisite performing arts and beautiful music, but its business is incomplete and its specifications are not strict." Colonel Wang mainly refers to the commercial singing method of Chaozhou opera. Almost all businesses have the same tune, and some voices and shapes are quite different. If you only listen to the sound and don't watch the performance, it is sometimes difficult to tell what business it is.
As we all know, Peking Opera is a "national opera" with strict specifications and complete lines. Beijing opera actors must receive strict training. In singing, all walks of life have their own special voice types and styles.
Unique singing method. 1993 Ms. Xie Lihua (former director of Shantou Drama School) and I went to Tianjin Art School to observe classroom teaching. We saw a beautiful woman singing in a standardized enterprise. I just listened and didn't look, but I thought she was an elderly man. Met, but turned out to be a slim, exquisite and beautiful girl (student), named Liu Xinjia, only 16 years old, about 1? 68 meters high. She practiced singing in class, and I was stunned. I can't believe my ears and eyes. Her voice is loud and elegant. ?
The organic combination of singing, reading, doing and playing constitutes the characteristics of special artistic means and performance forms, which is different from other art categories and maintains the vigorous vitality of traditional Chinese opera.
