The season returns after many years.
In 2018, different versions of "Secret Love" gathered at the Shanghai Theater for the first time, and nearly 20,000 audiences walked into the Shanghai Theater to enjoy the classic stage play that has been performed for more than 30 years. In the peach blossom season in March, this feast exclusive to "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" will return again.
The classic version of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", which premiered at the Capital Theater in Beijing on November 18, 2006, was played by well-known actors Huang Lei, Sun Li, He Jiong, Chen Minghao, Zhao Zizin and others. Among them, Jiang Binliu and Boss Yuan's actors Huang Lei and He Jiong have continued to participate in "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" since 2006, and it has been nearly 20 years. They have walked through various cities hand in hand, covering the whole country, and have also become a symbol of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" in the hearts of the audience. This version will also be presented to you at the Shanghai Theater with a new look in the near future, bringing a refreshing surprise to the audience.
The commemorative version of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" is starring Xiao Ai, Fan Guangyao, Qu Zhongheng, Tang Congsheng, Fan Ruijun, Zhang Benyu and other theater elites in Taiwan. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the premiere of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", Ding Naizheng rearranged the play. This version returns to the Shanghai Theatre after many years to meet the mainland audience, and is performed by the actors of the "Performance Workshop" who have been deeply involved in the theatre for decades.
The exclusive version is performed by a strong lineup of the Shanghai Opera Troupe personally cultivated by Lai Shengchuan, which was born in Shanghai Theater in 2017 and has accompanied Shanghai audiences through seven springs, summers, autumns and winters. The exclusive version will start from 2023 onwards, so that more people can find a corner of the "Peach Blossom Paradise of Drama" in the bustling city center anytime and anywhere, and also allow audiences who come to Shanghai with suitcases to watch Lai Shengchuan classics as they wish.
Three versions of "Jiangbin Willow" and "Yunzhifan" are on the same stage.
"Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" tells the story of two unrelated crews of "Secret Love" and "Peach Blossom Spring" competing for the stage in the theater. The two sides did not give in to each other, and because the performance was imminent, they finally had to rehearse in the theater at the same time, thus achieving a stage spectacle of ancient and modern sorrows and joys. Among them, the story told by the modern tragedy "Secret Love" takes place in Shanghai. At the beginning of the play, the characters "Jiang Binliu" and "Yun Zhifan" parted ways in Shanghai's Bund Park, and they have not seen each other for 40 years.
At the press conference, the three versions of "Jiangbin Liu" and "Yun Zhifan" - Huang Lei, Fan Guangyao and Xiao Ai, Zhang Lu and Fan Xiuzhu, and the premiere version of "Yun Zhifan" Ding Naizhu gathered on the stage of the theater. At the scene, the actors shared their characters' lives in their eyes.
In 2015, Lai Shengchuan established his own exclusive theater in Xujiahui, ending the status of his team as "nomads" for many years. In the past eight years, "going to the theater" has not only made theater watching, but also made theater a way of life. Now that "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" has launched an exclusive version and is stationed at the Shanghai Theater, Lai Shengchuan hopes: "This drama can be performed in Shanghai a lot, so that it can become a theatrical business card of the city." One day, when everyone came to Shanghai, they wanted to come to the theater and watch "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring". ”
It is reported that from March 1st to 5th, the commemorative version of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" will return warmly; From March 8th to 24th, the exclusive edition of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" will be stationed.
