由杨克忍、李哲明、范角、段肇升同志创作的秦腔革命历史剧《西安事变》,去年十二月由西安市秦腔一团在西安正式公演以后,引起了社会上的普遍重视和赞尝,受到广大群众的热烈欢迎和鼓励。华主席在五届人大的政府工作报告中号召文艺工作者,努力创作出反映毛主席、周总理、朱委员长和其他老一代无产阶级革命家光辉业绩的文艺作品。这对于戏剧创作来说,努力塑造好领袖和老一代无产阶级革命家的舞台艺术形象,便成为戏剧工作者面临的新的重大课题。秦腔《西安事变》的创作和演出,在我省戏曲舞台上首次成功地塑造了敬爱的周总理的光辉艺术形象,取得了十分可喜的成就。通过他们的舞台艺术实践,为戏曲表现领袖人物创造了非常宝贵的经验,对戏曲艺术的发展作出了重要贡献。这是我省戏剧战线上一件值得热烈庆贺的大喜事。秦一团这种大胆尝试和革命首创精神,一开始就受到中央文化部和省、市领导的重视和支持。早在《西安事变》搬上秦腔舞台之初,文化部艺术局责负人吴雪及侣朋、李之华同志,就专程来西安看了演出,给予了热情的肯定和鼓励。为了帮助剧团把这个戏改得更好,省、市文化局、省剧协及秦一团先后召开了文艺界座谈会,戏曲、音乐界座谈会和工农兵座谈会,广泛听取了各方面的意见。现将几次座谈会的发言摘要整理发表于后,供进一步研究和讨论。 Xi’an Revolutionary History Drama “Qin Incident” by Comrade Yankee, Li Zheming, Fanjiao and Duan Zhaosheng attracted public attention and praises in the society after the Xi’an Qiang chamber was officially performed in Xi’an last December.
