The new special efficacy in "The Legand
of The White Sanke" from Ming Hwa Yuan |
In recent years, Taiwan’s opera gradually transforms the type of performance to Western one, such as Ming Hwa Yuan troupe. They add some special efficacy and new material into the performance, and hope to attract more audience. To young people, “Taiwan’s opera” is just an unfamiliar noun, because most of them have never seen this performance. “I am not interested with this traditional culture,” most interviewee replied. If there is no large-scale advertisement or propaganda, most people would not take the initiative to notice the messages of Taiwan’s opera. Due to the misunderstanding of the language, more and more young people do not go to see Taiwan’s opera, which will gradually disappear in the young generations. Some think that the change of Taiwan’s opera can cater to the multitude, while some think that the alteration would make the opera lose the original flavor and traditional atmosphere.

“The new kind of performance would pique my interest to take a closer look,” one interviewee said.
“Some of the special efficacy is too exaggerated,” another interviewee told.
There are many different opinions to the transformation of Taiwan’s opera. If we want to preserve this precious traditional culture, we should come up with ideas about how to retain the original audience and appeal more other people.
Interview:
It is really a complicated issue that how to attract teenagers back to traditional culture- especially for Asian countries which are facing culture invasion from Western.
回覆刪除It's improvement really do positive impact to Taiwan traditional opera and i think it's good as those performance in western. But the way to preserve this tradition is better to trigger young generation's motivation to learn it.
回覆刪除I prefer puppet shows than Taiwan's opera haha.
回覆刪除But I think both these traditional performs should be passed to next generation.
I think it will be a tough work to attract teenagers back to traditional culture. However, I think it is necessary to pass this traditional culture to the next generation.
回覆刪除Chinese culture is fading away, maybe that's why they want to use so much special efficacy and new material into the performance in order to compete with other entertainments.
回覆刪除I like the Taiwan soap opera before. But now they have a lot of effects!! Also it don't appeal me anymore. :(
回覆刪除I still prefer Korean dramas haha^___^
回覆刪除But I think that Taiwan's opera has its worth to be preserved.
And it should be passed on from generation to generation.
I think we should do more efforts to preseve Chinese precious culture! We should be proud of it and be proud of us instead of only following K-pop or sth like that! ^ ^
