Folks**Wuhan Chu Theater brought a good show.
At 1 p.m. on the seventh day of the first lunar month on February 16, Qiaokezhuang, Nushan Town, Ezhou City, Hubei Province, under the warm sun, was full of joy. I saw the villagers forming groups in groups and smiling towards the square in front of the ancestral hall. On the square, the stage was erected, the red silk was hung high, and the audience seats with shade cloths and large benches were filled with hundreds of people in a short time. It turned out that the good show brought by the Wuhan Chu Theater was about to start.
The excerpt of Chu opera "Visiting Friends" tells the story of Liang Shanbo's visit to his classmate Zhu Yingtai as promised, and his beautiful singing voice moved the audience; The twists and turns told by the Chu opera "My Sister-in-law's Strange Injustice" made the fans addicted, and the villagers kept their eyes glued to the stage, and their hands unconsciously joined the beat, and sometimes cheered and applauded.
Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, the acting is very good. During the Chinese New Year, it is even more New Year's flavor to be able to see such wonderful shows and lively scenes! Ke Meixuan, a 73-year-old villager, said with a smile.
