Re: Guangzhou pupils continue to play Cantonese Opera: the scarcity of talent is still hard to solve.
reports that Nanhai middle school is the only secondary school in the 15 traditional Cantonese Opera characteristic schools in Guangzhou.
Nanhai middle school began to organize students to study Cantonese Opera in the 90s of last century. The school enrolled Cantonese Opera students every year, and compiled the textbook "Cantonese Opera traditional knowledge", which has held Cantonese Opera Education for many years. However, after the junior middle school stage, there are still few students to develop the Cantonese opera. In addition, it is a problem to solve the problem of how to keep the students who have some special skills in Cantonese opera to continue to "go up".
professor Ye Chunsheng, a professor of Chinese Department of the Zhongshan University and a professor of folklore at Zhongshan University, said that in the young people of Guangzhou, there are many people who regard Cantonese opera as a hobby, and the number is increasing. In his view, even if the children do not regard Cantonese opera as the direction of future development, learning Cantonese Opera in primary and secondary schools and accepting the edification of local culture will help them to lay the foundation for their artistic accomplishment and benefit them for life. "It will be of great benefit to the future development of life."
reports that interest is not equal to the ideal career direction - the ideas of children and parents, and that the scarcity of talent in the Guangdong opera is still unsolved.
Guangdong dance drama Career Academy is the only vocational college in China that trains Guangdong opera talents. It is regarded as the cradle of Guangdong opera talents. The Cantonese Opera talent is the "sweet potato" in the employment market of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia. The monthly salary of graduates can reach RMB 10000 yuan (about 2000 new yuan). However, the enrollment of this major is often cold.
Li Zongyuan, deputy dean of Guangdong dance and drama Career Academy, said that the enrollment of Cantonese Opera is not ideal for multiple reasons, but it is still the main reason for the youth's low love for Cantonese opera.
innovative Cantonese Opera training audience
reports that the popularization of Cantonese Opera and the cultivation of more young audiences in the youth are not only the educational circles, the government, the industry and the people of insight. In recent years, Guangdong Guangdong opera academy has also done a lot of exploration, including the "Internet Cantonese Opera" for young people. "3D" swordsman net work "sword net 3", production and tour of the new opera "decisive battle of heaven", hoping to have more known Cantonese Opera players into the theater, feel the charm of the Cantonese opera.
Ceng Xiaomin, deputy director of the Guangdong opera academy in Guangdong Province, pointed out that the Cantonese Opera should develop forward. Apart from the popularization of Cantonese opera among young people, it is important to strive for the middle stratum of the city, including white-collar workers, intellectuals and migrant workers, and to improve the share of the Cantonese Opera in the city's cultural market.
"the real market is in the middle class of the city, and this is precisely the market that Guangdong opera has not yet opened." Ceng Xiaomin said that the middle class of the city has an insight and hopes to see the repertoire with cultural background, which can reflect the spirit of the times, what kind of repertoire can enter their eyes, and how to properly publicize and package, "this is the future of Cantonese opera, and what we will do in the future."
reports that it is not only south of the Five Ridges's Cantonese opera, but the traditional Chinese Opera plays are facing this common challenge at present - with the development of the times and without losing their cultural personality. It is believed that the revival of traditional drama is a long road.
