美丽昆曲

-
So many things to write about kunqu lor! I realised that I wrote about kunqu more than any other opera types. HAahaha. I simply love it so much.

A few days ago, I was surfing net trying to find some nice opera photos to keep as reference. I first looked under Yueju and couldn't find alot. To my surprse, I found more nice pictures of kunqu than yueju. I tot that I will find more yueju nice photos.

There were quite a number of new productions in the kunqu genre. Though some are not very new. I am not sure... cuz I live in Singapore and I don't have much access to such information. :(

Here are a few photos I found of the production 西厢记. The photos are very pretty and costumes are nice too!




How beautiful... I love the costumes~! This version apparently is done by the earlier kunqu actresses.

Then I found the 厅堂版牡丹亭. There are so many versions of Mudanting nowadays and each is trying to be prettier than the previous.

Simple and nice!

These photos really look like a dream scape.



No complicated costumes. Simplicity is sometimes pretty too.

Lastly, the new '紫钗记'. This should be a new production. The actors and actresss are the newer generations.

The xiaosheng, Li An, received an award for this performance.








Oh... so pretty.. lol, I think I should set up an album in my FB to store all these beautiful kunqu pics so that other people can appreciate their beauty too! :)

A very crowded troupe

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu. I couldn't find a Xu Xian (YH dun like this role) so I got no choice but to ask Naiba for help. Heng he was free that day to help us. Kanglong found a very nice spot to take photos and everyone took photos at that spot.... I think this spot is nice too with the pillar behind and the flowers and the white background... Me and Naiba... Hmm, too bad his face kana hidden in shadow lor. Susan as green snake. I didn't realise that she was wearing the costume wrongly lor.. haiz, too late to inform her liao...

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
