站在越剧改革七十周年之槛,凝望曾经大红大紫的越剧姐妹,欣赏依然美轮美奂的四大经典,顿生抚今追昔之念、仰盛俯衰之慨。若将这七十年中分为前后两个阶段,那么越剧在前三十五年因改革成功盛达高峰,又因众所周知的原因跌落低谷;在后三十五年则是起伏不定,虽时有起色,但总体处于下滑态势,未能追及昔日风华。越剧的这条发展轨迹,与中国戏曲的总体发展历程大略相同,但也有自身特殊之处,可能缘此拥有不太一般的未来。 Standing on the threshold of the seventieth anniversary of the reform of the Shaoxing opera, I stared at the once-illustrious sisters of the Yue Opera and admired the four classics that are still magnificent. If we divide these seventy years into two phases, the Shaoxing Opera peaked in the first thirty-five years because of the success of the reform and dropped to its lowest level for well-known reasons. In the latter thirty-five years, the ups and downs, though There has been improvement, but the overall situation is declining, failed to catch up with the old days. This track of development of Yue Opera is roughly the same as that of the overall development of Chinese opera, but it has its own unique characteristics and may have a less general future.
