从“十七年”时期扬剧现代戏看戏曲“现代性”的探索与构建

Exploration and Construction of“Modernity”in Modern Opera of Yangju from the Perspective of Capture the Seal

《夺印》是扬剧在“十七年”时期最具代表性的现代戏作品,也是六十年代初,全国最有影响力的现代戏作品之一。站在新时代,以《夺印》为例,回顾“十七年”时期扬剧的现代戏创作,可以看到,这一时期的现代戏创作对于“现代性”的定义主要表现为题材内容对时代风向和国家意志的拥抱,以及剧本唱腔等呈现形态为实现这种时代性而作出的一切改变和革新。这样的定义虽具有明显的时代局限性,却也具有探索性和启发性的价值和意义。新时期的扬剧现代戏创作正应该从中吸取经验和教训,在超脱时代局限性的基础上,创作出更多扎根于社会现实及民俗沃土之中,具有真实性、深刻性、本土性和世俗性的作品,从而真正实现扬剧“现代性”的价值构建。

Capture the Seal is the most representative modern opera of Yangju in the“seventeen years”period,and it is also one of the most influential modern operas in the country in the early 1960s.Standing in the new era,taking Capture the Seal as an example,reviewing the modern opera creation of Yangju during the“seventeen years”period,we can see that the definition of“modernity”in the modern opera creation of this period is mainly expressed in the content of the theme.The embrace of the trend of the times and the will of the country,as well as all the changes and innovations made by the presentation forms such as script and singing,to realize this kind of times.Although this definition has obvious limitations of the times,it also has exploratory and enlightening value and significance.The modern opera creation of Yangju in the new era should draw experience and lessons from it.On the basis of transcending the limitations of the times,more creations are rooted in social reality and the fertile soil of folk customs,with authenticity,profoundness,locality and secularity.In this way,the value construction of the“modernity”of Yangju is truly realized.
