《黄梅戏艺术》曾就歌与戏的关系,发表了一组文章,其意图在引起争鸣,推动黄梅戏的创新。我认为这一讨论是有价值的。 其实,歌与戏之争,并非今日始。早在五十年代,有人就提出黄梅戏“要走歌剧道路”。斗转星移,算来已有三十余年了。戏曲有三十年一变之说,三十年来,黄梅戏是不是变成歌剧了?历史已经做了明确的回答。今后三十年,黄梅戏是否要改成黄梅歌?自然可以进行探讨,我看未必能以歌代戏。 “Huangmei Opera Art” once published a series of articles about the relationship between song and drama. Its intention is to provoke contention and promote the innovation of Huangmei Opera. I think this discussion is valuable. In fact, the dispute between song and drama is not today. As early as the fifties, some people proposed Huangmei opera “take the road to opera.” Fighting stars, count for more than thirty years. Has the drama changed for thirty years? Has the Huangmei opera turned into an opera for three decades? History has already made a clear answer. Will the Huangmei opera be transformed into the Huangmei song in the next 30 years? Naturally, we can discuss it.
