“文革”中的歌剧《白毛女》

Cultural Revolution classic The White Haired Girl

缘起去年秋天,我旁听《中国歌剧史》写作小组的一次通稿会。会上,对黄奇石先生撰写的＂文革＂部分中提到江青的一些言论,有些不同意见,大致是这些言论出处不详,也不是专门针对歌剧。有人建议删去,黄先生却仍坚持保留。书稿尚未出版,我也未太在意,只记住有这么个分歧。12月,中央歌剧院在北京人民大会堂隆重公演歌剧《白毛女》，引起了相当强烈的反响。

The revered composer Zhu Jian'er,during a discussion with the author,disclosed some rarely known facts about The White Haired Girl. Since this Cultural Revolution classic is seminal in Chinese operatic history,such information is worth sharing with our readers.
