On January 16th, the modern Yue opera “Walnut Tree Love” jointly performed by Shengzhou Yue Opera Troupe and Zhejiang Little Hundred Flowers Yue Theater (Zhejiang Yue Opera Troupe) officially premiered at the Grand Theater of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.
The modern Yue opera “Walnut Tree Love” is based on a true story that takes place in Xianrenkeng Village, Shengzhou City, and writes about the ordinary and touching love and marriage life between a nuclear bomb technician and his wife. Under the condition that her husband Yu Jiaping’s work is confidential, the heroine Mei Achu’s feelings for her husband gradually changed from doubts and dissatisfaction to understanding and tolerance, and silently supported until she integrated her personal love into her great love for the country. Through the heroine’s mental journey, the whole drama reflects the spirit of a generation willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the prosperity of the motherland. It is not only a realistic imitation of real life, but also incorporates romantic brushwork, showing the beauty of the belief that things are man-made.
It is reported that “Walnut Tree Love” is a key theme support project for stage art creation in Zhejiang Province in 2020, and the main creative unit will collect the opinions of experts and audiences in an all-round way after the performance, continue to revise and polish the play, and present a gift to the centenary of the founding of the CPC.
