四、阅读理解
Since 2011,the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has held two seasons of "Youth Runway",a long-term opera development project,hoping to find young opera talents. 118 young performers(表演者)have successfully showed 200 plays and classical pieces. Most of them were born between 1995 and 2000,making them the company's newest power. They will show both classical and new plays in many different styles.
① "The Butterfly Lovers",one of the plays in this spring,is changed from a sad love story between Liang Shanbo,a poor young man and Zhu Yingtai,the daughter of a wealthy family. They return as butterflies after their death. Another one,"Twelve Roles",which will be presented in summer,largely gets its idea from an American film 12 Angry Men. The 12 members,all from different backgrounds,must decide a child's fate(命运)in a murder.
Yueju opera,which developed around 1906 in Shengzhou,Zhejiang Province,is one of China's most famous operas. In the old days,people loved it because of its styles of singing and melodies(旋律). Now,it is getting a new life. ② The performing season for young performers is held in its fifth year and has its own characteristic. Moreover,the project worked with BestTV to create a yueju opera short video series about the 24 solar terms(节气)of traditional Chinese calendar.
Every year,the China Shanghai International Arts Festival provides chances for traditional opera performers like yueju talents to perform. ③ Many traditional opera performers have got fans among students and young performers in recent years by showing how they prepare for a concert and behind-the-scenes stories on video-sharing websites.
④ They try many ways to make traditional art forms attractive(有吸引力的)to today's youth,including the creation of short opera films and the use of popular melodies.
