From both historical and artistic points of view,Qinqiang Opera can be considered a significant genre outside the realms of Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera.The research on Qinqiang Opera has long been a focal point in the research on local operas with particular emphasis from a local perspective of the Yisu Art Troupe,a key and hot topic in the studies of Qinqiang Opera.Taking the Yisu Art Troupe as a case study to scrutinize and address the intricacies within the process of modernization of traditional Chinese opera proved to be beneficial.Since the 20th century,studies on the Yisu Art Troupe have evolved from scattered and impressionistic self-narratives into systematic and theoretical academic research.In the new century,scholars,such as Xin Xuefeng,Li Youjun,and Guo Hongjun,have been especially diligent with studies in this field.As Xin Xuefeng is relatively unknown due to his emphasis on traditional opera music,Li Youjun and Guo Hongjun have gradually emerged as important contemporary scholars in the study of the Yisu Art Troupe.Guo and Li not only further theorize the study of the Yisu Art Troupe but also conduct in-depth and meticulous studies on the nature of the Yisu Art Troupe,the establishment of the director-centered mode in Qinqiang Opera,the social function,and the playwriting of the Yisu Art Troupe by examining and reflecting it within the broader context of the modernization of traditional Chinese opera in the 20th century.

Idyllic Chronotope as One of the Principles of Organizing Time and Space: The Example of Handel’s “Alcina” Staged by Katia Korabelnik

An operatic work is a complex assemblage of different arts.Space-time in an operatic work is organized as a set of scores of all participating arts and is based on the conventions of their chronotopes.Each score is part of the system.At the same time,it is also relatively independent and flexible and can become a leading component for building the structure of the work.The chronotope of an operatic piece has several levels:(1)A dramaturgical source(a musical score with a libretto)that creates the spatial-time system of the work.This is a musical and poetical text whose chronotope transfers it into a stage text,placing it as the chronotope of the performance.(2)A spatial-time-stage director system.A stage work is a material object and is also the original idea of its creator,their spiritual perception.Being so,we discover the dual reality-a physical space-time of the work and a metaphysical space-time of its idea.A spatial-time system is the stage language of the work,the coordination between its external and internal art form.The external form is a set of expressive representations and the internal form is a logical structure,the space-time of the director’s perception.(3)Spatial-time-singer system.The singer integrates into this system partially in a way that is conditioned by the parameters of the chronotope in the spatial-time system.(4)A time-spatial system-an observer.Here a synergistic situation is created in which the show at the time of its ending(disintegration)moves into the space-time of the viewer and changes their inner world.In the ever-growing mosaic of contemporary art,in a rich variety of different currents,there is a need to look for universal values-the fundamental things that produce a sense of uniformity and completeness of the artistic work.A temporal analysis,that is,the analysis of the chronotopes of an operatic work can become a starting point for different approaches that investigate the contemporary processes taking place in an operatic work,and can also show new directions in the development of the operatic genre itself.

Bellini’s Norma and the Challenge of Regieoper

Despite the universal messages of Bellini’s Norma,the attempts at translating and adapting it to a modern context in the revisionist spirit of Regieoper(the director’s opera)encounter serious difficulties,as indicated by recent productions.The present paper focuses on these difficulties by examining in detail what appear to be the most challenging,innovative and thought-provoking among those productions which,despite remarkable merits,suffer from acute shortcomings:inter alia certain incompatibilities with the libretto,cultural dissonances,and problems of inner-coherence and verisimilitude.The detailed analysis of specific productions is followed by a general discussion(through a comparative approach)of Norma’s adaptability to Regieoper,which is shown to be extremely difficult,among other reasons because the terms of reference to the dimensions of the historical context(and the inherent mores)in its libretto are by far less flexible than those of other operas.Norma’s universal messages and its dualities of“foreign”versus“familiar,”with their vast semantic ambit,would seem to be better understood by meticulously delving into the subtleties of the text(and subtext)of Romani’s sophisticated libretto.Inner-coherence and compatibility with the libretto are essential for any attempt at creating an appropriate analogy running parallel to the original narrative.A fully convincing production of Norma in a modernizing spirit,if at all possible,remains an artistic challenge.
