What are the differences and connections between model operas and traditional Peking Opera?

Model opera is a derivative of Beijing opera, which is the connection between them, that is, model opera is based on Beijing opera. The difference between them is that model opera has innovated Beijing opera, adding western symphony to the traditional accompaniment of Beijing opera, changing the boring and procrastinating style of Beijing opera, making the whole drama sound rhythmic and passionate, which makes people memorable after listening.

1. Model opera is an innovation of Beijing opera. In fact, Beijing opera was only loved by the audience in the relatively simple era of ancient music and opera. Therefore, when more and more drama forms appeared, although Peking Opera was a national quintessence, it was soon forgotten by everyone. However, the model opera has renovated Beijing opera, adding the western symphony which was very popular at that time to the traditional accompaniment percussion and orchestral music of Beijing opera. This innovation makes the whole drama style unique. The model operas with western symphonies are very persistent and lyrical.

Second, the classic plays have always been loved by people. The classic play of the model opera should be Shajiabang, followed by Hanging the Red Lantern. Although the model operas during the Anti-Japanese War were still telling stories, they joined the western symphony. Let the whole drama be full of rhythm and sense of rhythm, and let the whole drama be very vivid and not boring, just like Shajiabang, where the stories described give people positive power. Model operas have abandoned the inherent model of Peking Opera for Gao Daquan, but have opened up a completely different path for themselves. Therefore, the model opera will definitely go further.

After the model operas came into being, Peking Opera was not left out in the cold, because the original target groups of the model operas and Peking Opera were different, one was for middle-aged and elderly people, while the model operas were mainly young brave and middle-aged people at that time, so although they were derived, they did not restrict each other from developing and growing. Therefore, the model opera is a relatively successful innovation.
