五、(2024·常州市金坛区模拟；传统文化)阅读理解。
What do you think of Yue Opera? You might think it's something for old people. But now, many young people are changing their minds about this art form. A recent Yue opera, New Dragon Gate Inn(《新龙门客栈》), has become popular with people of all ages. Since its first public performance, getting a ticket hasn't been easy.
The show is performed by Xiaobaihua, one of China's top Yue Opera troupes(剧团). It's very different from traditional Yue operas. The stage is like an inn. The audience sits close to the performers. They are the guests in the inn. Sometimes, the performers interact(互动) with them. Each performance, as a result, is different. What's more, all the roles are played by women. The troupe also adds short videos to the show. This fresh, unusual viewing experience has drawn young people to the theatre again and again. They really like it.
In fact, this is not the first time Xiaobaihua has made a splash(引起轰动). The Hangzhou troupe has been bringing new life into Yue Opera for some time now. It thinks hard about how to meet young people's tastes. Xiaobaihua has also tried to bring Yue Opera to the world stage. It has turned some foreign classics into Yue operas. One example is Coriolanus & Du Liniang. It joined a Western play(by Shakespeare) and a Chinese play(by Tang Xianzu) together.
Would you like to watch a Yue opera by Xiaobaihua now? We're not sure if you'll be lucky enough to get a ticket. But if you do, we're sure you'll think twice about calling this opera form “old”.
