Repair and reconstruction

In 2006, Xiangjiang theater was renovated and reopened. The Xiangjiang theater, which costs more than 2 million yuan to renovate, has 400 seats.

"Because there has been no troupe to perform since 1995, we originally wanted to make a thorough transformation of the theater, so there would be no more theater." Chen Jing, Deputy business manager of Xiangjiang theater, said that after hearing the news, the fans immediately reported to the relevant departments that their suggestions soon attracted the attention of the superior leaders, and eventually changed the original transformation plan of the theater, so that the theater could be retained.

Inheritance and revitalization

Since 2010, in order to further expand the influence of traditional opera and create a professional troupe brand, Changsha Municipal Bureau of culture, together with Tianxin District Party committee and district government, Tianxin District Bureau of culture and sports, Tianxin District Cultural Museum, Changsha Municipal Bureau of tourism selected Xiangjiang theater to establish "Huxiang opera traditional culture base". Since then, Hunan opera and Huagu opera in Changsha have their own fixed urban performance theatres. Excellent traditional operas, award-winning operas of newly created rehearsals, and a number of famous opera actors and actresses have their own stage to display. The reporter learned that from this Friday, a batch of plays created and arranged by Changsha Xiang theater and Changsha Huagu theater will be staged in Xiangjiang theater one after another. People who love drama can ask for tickets for free.

The troupe has a fixed place to perform

"Good drama is performed every day" is a pioneering way for Changsha to inherit and revitalize traditional opera.

With the improvement of living standards, the people's demand for cultural life is also higher and higher, and the demand for close viewing of stage art has become more and more obvious, but the cultural demand for going to the theatre cannot be realized because there is no venue. At the third session of the 10th CPPCC in 2012, some members put forward relevant proposals. In recent years, Changsha Municipal troupe has won awards frequently, and has rich repertoire of excellent plays and excellent actors. However, it has never had its own fixed performance venue, unable to perform in the city. The award-winning excellent plays can not get close to the public and become the spiritual food of the public. The theater has been in the dilemma of no place to perform for a long time. Therefore, the establishment of "Huxiang drama traditional culture base" in Xiangjiang theater for urban performance is another great benefit for Changsha.

The public share a good play

It is understood that, After the establishment of "Huxiang drama traditional culture base" of Xiangjiang theater, Changsha Xiang theater and Changsha Huagu theater will perform irregularly every two to five days from June 18. Huagu opera, Hunan opera famous dramas and famous segments such as Liang Zhu, blocking horse and xiaoguxian will be launched one after another. Huagu opera, Hunan Opera celebrities and new stars will all appear in our city to meet the viewing needs of the majority of fans.

According to reports, the repertoire focuses on the combination of tradition and modernity, popularization and improvement, local and international, elegant and popular, inheritance and innovation. While deeply excavating the technology and connotation of traditional art, the performance content keeps up with the times and combines with modern elements to actively create modern plays and small plays with both ideological and artistic quality, so as to win audience and occupy market share with content close to life, times and masses. It is reported that since the implementation of the "drama appreciation students' elegant art into campus" activity in 2008, Changsha has cultivated a group of young opera audiences in Colleges and universities. Now the establishment of "Huxiang traditional opera culture exhibition" will further promote the propaganda and promotion of traditional opera culture, expand and stabilize the urban audience of traditional opera.

Two theater directors said that to ensure the quality of performance, one is to "promote" the selection of actors, that is, to highlight actors with strong professional ability. Each troupe establishes a cast of urban performances with outstanding young and middle-aged actors as the main force. According to the performance plan and repertoire arrangement, the actors are divided into different groups. Through the rehearsal and performance of the repertoire, the maturity of young and middle-aged actors is promoted, and high-quality performances are brought to the audience. The second is "innovation", that is, to attach importance to the growth of young actors. Make a theater performance training plan for young actors. For potential young actors, give them more opportunities to go on stage. Through theater performance, enrich their performance experience, increase their sense of familiarity with the stage, and promote the growth of young actors and the cultivation of successors by the troupe. From the audience's point of view, the appearance of new actors can also bring novelty to the audience.

Xinxiwozi creates a new cultural brand

According to the head of Changsha Municipal Bureau of culture, Hunan opera and Huagu opera, as the quintessence of local culture, are located in the "xiwozi" of Xiangjiang theater, which is deeply loved by Changsha audiences. They carry out urban fixed-point public performance activities. On the basis of excavating local culture and integrating existing natural and cultural tourism resources, they have launched Changsha tourism culture package, creating a new brand of Hunan culture, new xiwozi—— Xiangjiang theater will become a new cultural landscape of Changsha.
