Among them, Canton Theater from the beginning of the first two fenfu Guangzhou, Maoming and other Pearl River Delta, sounded the 2011 spring class gongs and drums.　　This reporter visited Guangzhou Cantonese opera Yuan general manager Yu, he disclosed the Guangzhou Opera House this year new repertoire plan.　　Newspaper reporter Yan "colonel" burst materials to create a fine "Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling" "Yue Dance" to highlight the "Cross-border" fashion traditional "flower note" tells the beauty of beauty Guangzhou daily: 2011, Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Courtyard What development plan? Yu: This is the 90 anniversary of the founding of the party and the 100 anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, which will bring a rich and busy year to Guangzhou Opera House. We will be on the "execution of the Wedding" and "three home alley" to modify and upgrade to make it more perfect, to create stage boutique repertoire. To commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, we plan to produce a new play "Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling".　　At present, the script has been basically finished, the cast and the actor all feel good, because the story in the script is from the person's angle, emphatically describes the character emotion, the story is strong, but does not create the high, the big, the whole heroic image, also is not tells the person's great achievements, this distinguishes from the similar subject matter in the past. At the same time, we are prepared to arrange a Cantonese opera musical, which is a cross-border attempt. Because before the "execution of the Wedding" and the Guangzhou song and dance troupe for the first time this cross-border attempt to inspire us a lot of creative inspiration.　　The Cantonese opera musical drama has both the elements of Cantonese opera and dance elements, we tentatively will be the title of "Cantonese Dance", the following small title has not been determined.　　Guangzhou daily: In the past two years, the Cantonese opera has an increasingly obvious modern style, you just mentioned a few new projects are modern theme, but many voices in the industry that the Cantonese opera is still the most adept at expressing the theme of beauty. Yu: Of course, in addition to just mentioned a few modern drama, Guangzhou Opera House also intends to row in this year traditional "flower note", this is the story of traditional beauty and beauty, should meet the needs of a group of old fans. In addition, we have to duplicate at least 6 traditional, these traditional still have very market.　　Cantonese Opera in the development of innovation at the same time did not shake off the tradition, but constantly explore for today's audience like to express the way to present. In addition to these plays, we will also produce a number of audio-visual products, including the selection of 10 classic, have a certain impact of the repertoire to record, as well as about 4 albums.　　Guangzhou Opera House also has two theatres, the Southern theater and the Jiangnan Grand Theater, we need to use the two theatres, the Southern Theater is committed to play a tourist theater, Jiangnan Theater is expected to become a drama theater dominated by Cantonese opera.　　Guangzhou daily: What changes have the reform of the local art academy brought to the Opera house? Yu: The change of creative thinking is the biggest, pay more attention to the excavation of human nature, from the audience's aesthetic point of view.　　Guangzhou Daily: The development of traditional opera has always been a concern of the industry, in the course of the transfer, what do you think about it? Yu: The question of Cantonese opera is really very prominent, many actors once become the protagonist often will sing from the beginning to the end, from young to continue to retire, this makes the Cantonese opera successor talent appeared problem.　　Beijing Opera has been the first to break the "taboo" as the quintessence of Cantonese opera. Therefore, in this year's spring class performance, we give more young actors as the protagonist of the opportunity, for this practice, the group starring also very supportive, willing to give young people as supporting role, this is very rare.　　Especially Okamin, in the "College of Search", the 26-Year-old Chen Zhenjiang as a man, Okamin is playing male second, as the disciple of green leaves. The cultivation of young actors is the most important development of Cantonese opera, and in 2011, we plan to hold 5 youth special sessions. There are now 80 actors in the regiment, half of the young actors under the age of 30, but these young people are not very enthusiastic, many people also regard this job as a means of earning a living, the Cantonese opera as a career value of the people are not many. Therefore, the training of the successor talent is also very difficult, on the one hand, give them the opportunity to burden in the performance, through the Apprentice-style inheritance to improve the stage experience of young actors.　　On the other hand, we are going to choose outstanding actors to study further.　　Know more D "Cantonese opera into the campus" has become a part of Guangzhou daily: In addition to actors, Cantonese opera writers and directors are also scarce talent. Yu: Yes. This is the most concern of Cantonese opera practitioners.　　It takes at least 5-10 years to get a new look in this area.　　Guangzhou Daily: It is said that the current recruit Cantonese opera actor than more than 10 20 years ago there is a big gap, when 1000 people choose one, now if you want to recruit 10 people, maybe only 5 people to register, is this it? Yu: There is a real embarrassment.　　In particular, Cantonese opera, because of language, many foreign seedling can not enter this business. For the popularization of Cantonese opera, we have also made a lot of efforts. For example, "Cantonese opera into the campus", this activity has been developed to today's climate, students have also emerged a group of small opera fans like drama. There are Cantonese opera into the community, Guangzhou Opera House every year will go to Luogang district of the Community bureau, and audience fans live exchanges, they love to sing love Jump, we help guide, this has become a normal. There is a special Cantonese opera in the South China Sea Secondary School, where are 44-year-old children, they usually like to arrange a number of small programs, Cantonese theatre actors are obligated to give them tutor, the children have learned with relish.
