Original title: People's Art Theatre Celebrates Its 68th Anniversary

News from our newspaper (reporter Guo Jia) Feng Yuanzheng once said, "I have been absent for a long time, and I have returned to the stage where I have been absent for a long time!"! After 140 days of waiting, on June 12, the grand curtain of the Capital Theater was opened for the audience who were more eager to wait for the 68th birthday of the People's Art Theatre. In an unprecedented live broadcast on the cloud, 30 entertainers took over the stage. When the opening bell rang, the memory of the theater returned

To start the performance, Pu Cunxin challenges the villain Salieri in God's Beloved. This time, he did not take out Li Bai or Fourth Master Chang, who was very familiar with him, but sat in a wheelchair and said "Hail to you, the ghost of the future". The husband and wife team of Yu Zhen and Xin Yue challenged the father daughter combination of Lu Gui and Sifeng, so the classic segment "Lu Gui talks about ghosts" in Thunderstorm has a version of Beijing Opera and Beijing rhyme. Wang Ban's Hamlet is handsome and tangled in saying "survival or destruction". Hu Jun and Lu Fang's Hamlet is the essence of Li Liuyi's version. The "Lotus" by Chen Xiaoyi and Gu Zhixin, with the charm of the original team for more than ten years, plays again the "bloody case caused by a porcelain basin" described by Zou Jingzhi. Missing Peiping by Wu Gang and Yue Xiuqing is the only non dramatic segment of the whole audience. This classic prose of Mr. Lao She was selected by Yue Xiuqing. Two popular line masters interpreted this segment to make people imaginative. Cai Wenji, written by Lan Tianye, 93, and young actor Xu Cenzi, has a sense of transcendence. The massiveness and inheritance of the People's Art Theatre are best interpreted at this moment. In addition, classic dramas such as "Camel Xiangzi", "Peking Man", "Sunrise", and "Mutiny" also dominated the stage in more than two hours in the way of classic series.

Although, the opening of the curtain, as in the past full is the symbol of the victory of the epidemic. But after all, the curtain of the People's Art Theatre has opened. Even if the audience has not yet been able to breathe face to face, this public benefit performance, which has gathered 16 pieces of plays, can also make the audience feel like they have met the rain after a long drought. The official microblog of Beijing Youth Daily and Beijing Toutiao APP and other platforms launched a super long live broadcast from 17:30. From backstage disclosure to artist interviews to the grand performance, the non-stop live broadcast lasted for more than four hours, presenting the audience with a 360 degree Beijing People's Art Theatre.
