The Longjiang Opera Troupe of Heilongjiang Province The Longjiang Opera Troupe of Heilongjiang Province was set up in December 1959. The Longjiang Opera was developed from the song and dance duets and plays performed in the open air at fairs, which are very popular in Northeast China. Longjiang Opera is a new type of opera that absorbs the cream of other local operas and other art forms. It does not only retain its own bold, unconstrained and humorous features of the singing and dancing of Northeast China, but also boasts the elegant demeanor common in Chinese traditional operas, evolving into a style of its own. The troupe has presented "Relatives of the Emperor", "Double-lock Mountain", "Zhang Fei Interrogates the Melon", "Romance of the Iron Bow", "Absurd Jia Baoyu", "The Legend of Hua Mulan" and many other repertoires since its establishment. Among them, "The Legend of Hua Mulan", "Absurd Jia Baoyu" and "Double-lock Mountain" were acclaimed as the Best Trilogy of Longjiang Opera. Deeply rooted in the fertile black earth of Northeast China, the troupe has performed all over the country, as well as a number of foreign countries, such as Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Hong Kong. Its performances enjoy a high reputation both in China and abroad. After years of development the Longjiang Opera has brought up a group of artists of high artistic achievements. Bai Shuxian, deputy chairwoman of the China Dramatists' Association and a well-known performing artist of Longjiang Opera, is the one of the best performers. She was awarded the Grand Wenhua prize on two occasions by the Ministry of Culture for the main role in "Absurd Baoyu" and "The Legend of Hua Mulan" -- a film adapted from the opera. "The Legend of Hua Mulan" won the Huabiao prize from the government and an Expert's Golden Rooster prize. She also won two Plum Blossom prizes of Chinese Opera, a Wenhua performing prize at the National Theatrical Festival and the White Magnolia prize at the Shanghai Theatrical Festival. Other important artists of the theater include: Grade l directors Li Fang and Sun Tieshi, Grade l performers Lu Dongmei and Han Shizhen and Grade 1 composer Chen Chenglan.
