爱好越剧的观众都知道,越剧产生于浙江,演员以嵊县籍的女子为多。可是很少有人知道,还有不少演员出于嵊县毗邻的新昌县。这是由于两县地理相连,语言近似,风俗习惯基本相仿的缘故。早在三十年代中期,越剧就曾被称为“新、嵊女子绍兴文戏”。时至今天,新、嵊两县都有较之省内各县为数略多的专业和业余的越剧团体。著名的越剧表演艺术家尹桂芳,就出生在新昌县西门外的小龙潭村。尹桂芳已经年过花甲,十年浩劫期间,她由于受尽摧残,种下病根。终于在1972年夏季,突然中风,以致半身不遂,被迫脱离了越剧舞台。热爱尹派艺术的广大观众无不殷切地企望着她能及早恢复健康,重返舞台。记得前年九月,在上海文化广场举行“尹桂芳越剧流派演唱会”的消息一传开,热望能及早欣赏尹派艺术的观众,连夜赶来排队购票,售票处窗口出现了长龙。其中有一位头发花白、因中风而行动不便的老太太,人们见了很同情,劝她不必排队,还是回家休养,以免出事。可是她却认真地说:“我多年看惯尹桂芳的戏。现在她中风后还要拚命演出,我中了风也要拚命看她的戏。”寥寥数语,表达了广大观众热爱尹派艺术的心情。9月24日晚,在演唱会场内,乳白色的太阳灯渐渐暗了下来,一万多观众的眼睛紧盯住舞台,紫红色的帷幕徐徐开启,人们企望已久的尹桂芳和袁雪芬这两位表演艺 Fans who love Shaoxing opera all know that Shaoxing opera was produced in Zhejiang province and that there were more women in Sheng County. But few people know, there are many actors out of Xinchang County, adjacent to Sheng County. This is because the two counties are geographically connected with similar languages ​​and similar customs. As early as the mid-1930s, Yue Opera was once known as the “new, Sheng-Sheng Shaoxing opera”. Today, the new and Sheng two counties have slightly more professional and amateur Yue opera groups than the counties in the province. The famous Yue opera performance artist Yin Guifang, was born in Xinchang County outside the small Longtan Village. Yin Gui-fang has spent years, during the Devastation, she suffered due to destruction, planting the root cause. Finally in the summer of 1972, a sudden stroke, resulting in hemiplegia, was forced to break away from the Yueju stage. The vast majority of the audience, who love the art of Yin-style, are keenly expecting her to resume her health sooner and return to the stage. I remember the year before last September, held in Shanghai Cultural Square, “Yin Guifang Yue Opera Concert,” the news spread, keen to be able to enjoy the Yin audience early art audience, came queuing tickets overnight, the ticket office appeared long queue window. One of the elderly people who had gray hair and had limited mobility because of a stroke was very sympathetic and advised her not to queue up or go home and rest so as to avoid any accident. However, she said seriously: “I’ve been accustomed to watching Yin Guifang’s play for many years. Now she has to perform desperately after the stroke, and I am desperately trying to see her show.” In a few words, Mood. On the evening of September 24, in the concert hall, the milky sun lamp gradually dimmed. More than ten thousand audiences’ eyes stared at the stage. The purple curtain opened slowly.
