China sent Beijing Opera Troupe to visit and perform all over the world, among which Mei Lanfang visited the Soviet Union three times on 1952, 1957, 1960 and 1956 visited Japan for the third time, which won great honor for China's traditional culture overseas.
His superb performance not only made the world sit up and take notice of China's "national quintessence" Peking Opera, but also had a far-reaching impact on Japanese, European and American drama and film art. Drama masters stanislavski and Brecht absorbed the essence of Mei Lanfang's performing arts in their creations.
Extended information Peking Opera stage art has formed a set of mutually restrictive, complementary and standardized programs in literature, performance, music, singing, gongs and drums, makeup, facial makeup and other aspects through the long-term stage practice of countless artists. As an artistic means to create a stage image, it is very rich and its usage is very strict.
If you can't master these programs, you can't complete the creation of Peking Opera stage art. Just as Peking Opera entered the court at the beginning of its formation, its development and growth are different from local operas.
It is required to show a wider range of life, create more types of characters, be more comprehensive and complete in skills, and have higher aesthetic requirements for its stage image. Of course, it also weakens its folk local flavor, and its simple and rude style is relatively weak.
