Recently, three works with the theme of red mansions of different artistic categories have been unveiled on the Beijing stage, bringing fans and the general audience an audio-visual feast, The innovative stage presentation also gives more "opening ways" to the excellent traditional Chinese culture. (The picture shows the Beijing Opera Red Mansion concert performed in the Concert Hall of the National Library Art Center) (The picture shows the original Kun Opera Cao Xueqin premiering in the Tianqiao Theater). According to the concert "Beijing Melody and Red Mansions", which was rearranged based on the music series of the 87 version TV drama "Dream of Red Mansions", the classical music works and Beijing Opera were skillfully combined and recreated, so that a number of young actors became "people in a dream of red mansions", providing the audience with a "Red Mansion Music House" composed of Beijing Opera and warm feelings. "This is a new experiment in the Peking Opera industry. It is our creative goal to sound good, look good and be beautiful." Zhu Shaoyu, a famous opera musician, said frankly that there was almost no precedent for using Peking Opera bands to accompany songs. After repeated experiments, he absorbed some rules of opera singing accompaniment in music design, and added national instruments such as sheng, pipe, flute and xiao, which made the whole performance both ancient and innovative. At the same time, Cao Xueqin, the original Kunqu opera brought by the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater, opened its first performance. "The art of Kunqu Opera with elegant music and positive voice embodies the aesthetic concept of traditional culture, and has a deep origin with Cao Xueqin. The Kunqu Opera" Cao Xueqin "shows the character and legend of this literary giant with the heart of courtesy, expresses the emotion and philosophy of" living towards beauty "in a new form of cross-border integration, and reflects the unique essence and charm of Kunqu art." Yang Fengyi, the director of the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater, introduced that the Kunqu Opera "Cao Xueqin" has broken the stereotyped figure of the opera and boldly borrowed the lyrical elements of national dance and classical dance to shape the spiritual world of the characters. It is also about Cao Xueqin's life story. The original dance drama Cao Xueqin, which was staged in the National Grand Theater last week, reproduces Cao Xueqin's unique life experience in creating the legendary classic Dream of Red Mansions by using the techniques of time flashbacks and time and space interlacing, lyrical freehand brushwork and straightforward dance vocabulary. Liu Zhen, the general director, said: "This is the first time in China that Cao Xueqin is the first leading actor and is shown in the form of dance drama." The play has made bold innovations in dance arrangement and stage presentation, especially a duet between Cao Xueqin and Fang Qing, which is novel in form, beautiful and romantic, and has gone through the pain of lovesickness. With the help of art, traditional culture is spread "full of absurd words and bitter tears. It is said that the author is crazy, but who can understand the taste?" Dream of the Red Mansions, a chapter style novel written during the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese literature and an encyclopedia of traditional Chinese culture. For more than 200 years, The Dream of Red Mansions has attracted great attention with its rich ideological connotation and endless artistic charm
