“The head of the willow on the moon, the person is about after dusk”. Love is an important theme of Lantern Festival. The classic combination of contemporary Yue Opera performers Qian Huili and Wang Zhiping brings “The Legend of Chunxiang: Love Song”, a love story that happened under the bright moon and the Lantern Festival reunion night.

At the end of 2021, a “Myth of Love” made people curious about Shanghai culture. What exactly is the most authentic “Shanghai flavor”? Contemporary Shanghai opera performance artist Mao Shanyu accompanies you in your dream of Shanghai with a song “Shanghai Ballad”. Wu Nong’s soft words are touching, and the graceful cheongsam is intoxicating. In recent years, Mao Shanyu has devoted herself to popularizing Shanghai dialect, traditional opera and urban culture in the form of Shanghai opera and Shanghai song. She said frankly that she hopes to use the screen of Shanghai Radio and Television City Channel to let more people hear and sing it. This beautiful “Shanghai Ballad” makes the “Voice of Shanghai” spread farther and longer.
“New national style” breaks the circle to attract “new youth”
Famous masters and classic melodies make people feel the profound heritage and never-fading charm of traditional opera. The secret of “permanent charm” lies in “keeping integrity and innovation”. The “New” Tunes of Shuimo, the Prince of Kunqu Opera, highlights the word “new”. In the sing-along, the 600-year-old Shuimo Tunes flow out the melody of the times. The “new national style” brought by a group of young people is even more surprising and amazed, exclaiming: “It turns out that opera can be played like this”, “It turns out that tradition can be ‘hi’ like this”. Through the self-media platform, “Red Ling”, which combines ancient style with modern rhythm, “One Cut Plum”, and the Shanghai version of “Sound Slow”… Today’s young opera workers are no longer satisfied with the stage presentation, and are in harmony with their own Under the creative collision of the media, the Internet, and the Metaverse, the “new national style” has become more and more sought after by the youth of the Z generation.
At the party, “Wujiapo”, a post-95 drama director Li Zheng, who has countless fans in the broadband circle, appeared again. The guitar and bass replaced the gong and drum huqin, and the T-shirt jacket replaced the mana robe water sleeves. The deconstruction and reconstruction of tradition showed the vigorous vitality of traditional opera.
Just like Li Zhengkuan’s positioning of himself: to build a bridge between the pop culture circle and the traditional opera circle. With the efforts of a group of young opera people who are chasing their dreams, the future of traditional opera is promising.
“Reunion Night” laughs and sings “Reunion Song”
The Lantern Festival is also a time for reunion. The whole Lantern Festival party runs through the theme of “reunion” and “festivity”. The opening song “Selling Tang Yuan” was steaming hot and prosperous. The outside shooting team visited the famous Pingtan artist Zhao Kaisheng, the famous Shanghai Opera artist Chen Yu and the famous Peking Opera artist Sun Zhengyang. They talked about art and celebrated the Lantern Festival with the three groups of teachers and apprentices. “It will be revealed at the party. At the party, Xie Yan, a young Pingtan actor who has successfully completed liver surgery and returned to the stage under the relay of caring people from all walks of life, will also send a song “Beautiful Moon” to the audience together with her partner Lu Jiawei, wishing everyone happiness and well-being.
The atmosphere of the reunion is already very “booming”, and there are three “living treasures” that “add fuel to the fire”. Qian Yi, Xu Biaoxin and Chen Shengjie, three famous artists from comics, Yue Opera and Peking Opera, perform the three beauties, with light makeup and heavy makeup, just for Bo Jun smile.
In happy moments, the “blessing” of the one-legged show is also indispensable. The popular performance “Shikumen Laughter” is hard to get a ticket, which makes many fans of Mao Mengda and Shen Ronghai sigh. However, at the Lantern Festival Gala, the combination of “Mao Sun” will make up for the regrets of fans and friends. A piece of “Mental Sickness” tells contemporary people who live in a fast-paced and high-pressure environment: If you have a good mentality, everything is good.
Whether it’s listening to classic melodies, reliving the years of youth in “old times”, or feeling innovative beats, dancing to the rhythmic rhythm of “Gen Z”. The Lantern Festival is a time for family reunion. Family members sit together, listen to a song, watch a play, tell a story, share each other’s times, and feel common happiness. This is the best “end” of this Spring Festival.
