Shandong Peking Opera Theater lets young actors take center stage

April 21 is Sunday, and the rehearsal hall of Shandong Song and Dance Theater is still very busy. Some actors are practicing in preparation for the creation and rehearsal of the folk dance drama “Da Ranfang”. “The Great Dyeing House” is the key play produced by Shandong Song and Dance Theater this year. It focuses on the history of national industrial development and plans to have young dancers try new expressions in dance dramas.

“For the troupe, producing people and producing plays are complementary to each other.” Li Bei, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Shandong Song and Dance Theater, told reporters that around the creation of “Da Ranfang”, Shandong Song and Dance Theater will gather the strength of young actors and actresses to give full play to The advantage of bringing in the old with the new can truly achieve the goal of “rehearsing a big play and growing a group of actors.”

Talent is the cornerstone of the prosperity and development of stage art. Like other regions across the country, Shandong has also faced a shortage of outstanding talents, resulting in some theater troupes having to hire external actors to create new works.

The situation has improved significantly in recent years. By continuing to deepen the reform of state-owned literary and art troupes, Shandong has reformed and innovated in aspects such as talent training, salary distribution, and professional title evaluation.

The Shandong Bangzi Theater Troupe in Chiping District, Liaocheng City, founded in 1950, now has 48 cast members, 70% of whom are born in the 1990s and 2000s. It has rehearsed many major and minor plays that have appeared on provincial stages. But more than ten years ago, this theater company was completely different.

“For a while, it was very difficult to produce a small show. Not to mention the aging of the staff, many key actors have also left.” Zhang Nan, director of the Chiping District Culture and Tourism Bureau, said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to revitalize the development of the theater and troupes, In order to maintain vitality, Chiping District has made great efforts to carry out reforms, adopting a combination of financial guarantee and market approach, and the insufficient financial support has been obtained from commercial performances and other links. At the same time, the local government has improved the guarantee of government-purchased services and increased the subsidy for opera performances in the countryside from a few hundred yuan to 10,000 yuan per performance, ensuring the quality of Shandong Bangzi performances at the grassroots level and boosting the motivation of the troupe’s performers. More sufficient.

Not only Chiping District, but also Shandong Provincial Academy and Youth League as well as Jinan City, Yantai City and other places in recent years have successively introduced policies to deepen the reform of the Academy and Youth League, increasing financial support and stabilizing the hearts of literary and art workers. The Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism proposed that the functional positioning and development goals of the academies should be set based on the special cultural values, artistic rules, survival status and future expectations of different art forms.

For example, at the provincial level, the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism requires that opera troupes such as Peking Opera, Lu Opera, and Liuzi Opera, which represent national standards and reflect regional cultural characteristics and unique artistic values, must adhere to the inheritance of art and focus on high-quality creations. , talent training, and popularization of opera. Drama, song and dance, acrobatics and other theater troupes that have a wide audience, strong market competitiveness, and rich social resources must further strengthen market orientation on the basis of government support, actively leverage the market to gather resources, accelerate development, and improve development. quality.

On this basis, Shandong has strengthened the training of leading talents in key fields such as screenwriting, directing, and performance, and improved the creative support for young stage art talents.

Recently, the Shandong Provincial Theater Theater’s play “Confucius” was performed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Southwest Drama Exhibition and the 8th National Outstanding Drama Play Show. Actor Wang Xiang said that the academy has provided many learning opportunities in the past few years. Some seniors not only come to the rehearsal hall regularly to provide guidance, but they can also go out of Shandong to learn other repertoire experiences. Participating in this performance allowed me to watch many high-quality plays, and I gained a lot.

On April 19, Shandong Performing Arts Group and Jinan Opera and Folk Arts Center signed a letter of intent to cooperate in the theater chain of Lu Opera “Shan Bo”. “Shanbo” is a small theater experimental Lu opera created and staged by the Jinan Opera and Folk Art Center in 2023.
