1, female interpretation
Perhaps for most people, when it comes to Beijing opera, you will know that "Su San left Hongtong County", which is a compromise in the Beijing opera "Yu Tang Chun". Susan was taken from Hongtong County Prison to Taiyuan, the provincial capital, where she was jointly examined by the three courts and escorted by the old messenger who respected justice. This is an aria of Susan leaving prison, missing her lover, the prince, and feeling sorry for herself. Because Bobby Chen's "Beijing" used a similar melody overnight, everyone will hum a word more or less, so you might as well listen to the original aria as the first Beijing opera aria you heard. In this play, Su San is a businessman in Tsing Yi, wearing evil clothes and jade armor. Mei School, Cheng School and Zhang School all sang this play, and I chose Zhang School's Tsing Yi singing. As for the plot of "Yu Tang Chun", it tells the love story of the daughter of the down-and-out official second generation and Ji Ji. Please make up for it yourself.
2. "Sitting in the palace"
This is the first time that the couple performed a song in the Beijing Opera "Shiro Visiting Mother" based on Yang Jiajiang's story. This should be the most sung Beijing opera aria at the party. It is characterized by the continuous duet of male and female actors, which is fast-paced and unable to be produced, forming a pattern of competitive singing. Finally, the princess agreed with Yang Silang's mother, Yang Silang, who was so excited that she sang a "small fan" Ga tune (suddenly singing a high note when expressing intense emotions in Beijing opera), which often won bursts of applause. In the performance, the actress wore a national flag dress and had a beautiful figure. In this passage, the old students sang a duet with Tsing Yi, and all factions also sang. Speaking of party partners, Li Weikang and Geng Qichang used to be friends, but now they are often Li Shengsu and Yu Kuizhi. It is estimated that both of them have sung it hundreds of times.
3. Locke Forest Capsule
At present, Cheng School is the most prosperous in Beijing Opera. It seems that Cheng Pai's low-key and euphemistic singing with some ideological plot is the true love of intellectuals. Zhang is also a different kind of Peking Opera actor. Although her state has not recovered to the best after giving birth, every performance is a hard-to-find and high-priced ticket, which is sought after like an entertainment star. This is also a kind of hunger marketing. Therefore, the representative work of Cheng School, Solin Niang, is also known to many people. This drama, which preaches good deeds and rewards, is the most popular among Cheng School, and there are indeed many beautiful aria. "Rain outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion", the running water from Xipi 26 to a large section, sings about Miss Xue taking shelter from the rain in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and giving a priceless dowry to a poor girl, mixed with the gag of the maid to Mei. I didn't choose Zhang's singing method in this passage, but the voice is sweeter and more personal.
4. "outsmart Tiger Mountain"
I chose 10, and three of them are model operas. In fact, I hate the political meaning of model operas, but after all, model operas have been polished for a long time, and there are many fine works in singing. The first choice was "We are the Workers and Peasants' Soldiers", mainly because Grandpa Bi was in turmoil recently and sang this passage at the dinner table. A while ago, the movie "Outwit Tiger Mountain" was released. In fact, we should appreciate the expression of the same theme in different social environments in comparison with model operas. This passage was sung by Shao Jianbo, chief of staff. He was caring and attentive at the farmer Li Yongqi's house, which dispelled the concerns of Li Yongqi's bandit family and inspired his hatred for bandits. The aria is concise and lively. According to the practice of model operas, when the word "Chairman Mao" is mentioned, the tone suddenly rises, and finally the firm determination is expressed.
5. Red lanterns
Hanging the Red Lantern tells the story that the underground party disguised as a railway worker was not afraid of sacrifice in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. There are several clear aria. My uncles are countless and everyone has a bright red heart refers to the same aria, taking the first sentence and the last sentence respectively. It shows that Xiao Tiemei is small but smart, and understands the significance of the elders engaged in revolutionary work at home. A famous scholar of Xun School, he became famous for singing Li Tiemei. At that time, his singing was very clear.
6. Shajiabang
The three selected model operas are all original songs. Among all the model operas, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhi Dou is the most famous one. A rare trio duet in Beijing Opera, but it is definitely better than "The Great Powers Protect the Tomb and Enter the Palace" sung by the trio. The combination of three actors is also a historical opportunity. Hong Xuefei was originally a Kunqu Opera actor. He succeeded Zhao Yanxia in playing Aqingsao in the model opera, and died in a car accident while performing in Xinjiang in 1990s. Ma Changli is still alive, and he is over 80 years old. He plays the bad guy, but everyone likes his singing very much. Zhou Hetong, who was originally a showy actor, has long since passed away, and that "memory" is still humorous. This song, which shows the wits and courage of three people, is a rare masterpiece in the history of Peking Opera.
7. Kanrogi
This play is based on The Romance of Three Kingdoms. Sun Quan tricked his sister into marrying Liu Bei. This is Sun Ce's old father-in-law Joe persuading Sun Quan not to cheat, but to unite with Liu Kangcao's aria. The important characteristics of the old students of the horse brand include natural and unrestrained stretching, which turns the original board of Xipi into flowing water and shows the characteristics of the horse brand incisively and vividly. The lyrics are easy to understand, and they are all Liu's legendary stories (some of them are wrong, for example, Wen Chou was punished before, and later some actors deliberately corrected them, but they were not as popular as "singing wrong"). Mr. Ma sings like a cross talk, and it's enjoyable to listen to it. Actually, as a representative of Beijing Opera, I should choose Tan Pai's aria, but I think Tan Pai's characteristics are adagio aria, so I won't choose it here.
8. "My Beauty Box"
The only distinctive singing is also the representative singing of the autumn school. This story tells that Bao Gong invited Chen Shimei to Kaifeng House to explain the case and wanted to win him over. At the beginning, the xipi guide board was turned to the original board, followed by an allegro "Master Xu came closer and looked closely", which was extremely fast, magnificent and particularly enjoyable. This passage fully shows Mr. Qiu's rich voice, which can be described as the tenor in Beijing opera.
9. "Matchmaker"
In this 10 paragraph, I chose more Dan Dan's aria, which was also sung by Xun School actors (Liu Changyu is a Xun School, but the aria in A Red Lantern can't be completely counted as Xun School aria). Xun School is good at portraying Hua Dan's characters, including a lovely girl and a coquettish and malicious character (so some people have analyzed the characteristics of the four famous poets before, saying that Xun School is a "wave", please understand it from the front). The same story, The Story of the West Chamber, is an adaptation of Zhang's drama "The Matchmaker", which is a Xun drama with the matchmaker as the protagonist. This play and even this aria should be listened to while watching. This shows that the matchmaker asked Zhang Sheng to hide behind him and take him to meet Cui Yingying. When the matchmaker sang this passage, he danced while singing and played with the chessboard. The red skirt fluttered like a butterfly, which was beautiful. This paragraph itself is also a running board, which is very nice and recommended.
10, Farewell My Concubine
Finally, I recommend a Zhenggen Meipai drama, and I can't help listening to Mei Lanfang. Needless to say, I believe everyone has seen the movie of the same name. This is an aria in which Yuji worried about the military situation and made a scene outside the military account at night. The plate is Nanbangzi, beautiful and elegant, which shows the dignified achievements of Mei School and enjoys the atmospheric beauty of Tsing Yi. Because Mr. Mei's recording sound effect was not good at that time, he didn't choose the original singer. In fact, if you want to know the characteristics of male Dan's singing, you can listen to Mr. Mei Baojiu's aria.
