说音乐剧是一门非常自由的艺术,这是对的;但它依然有规律可寻,有自己的质的规定性。否则,音乐剧就不能作为一种独立的综合舞台艺术存在、发展并风靡整个世界一百余年。20多年来,中国音乐剧艺术家在把握音乐剧规律的途程中作了各种各样的探索,并有许多不同风格和样式的作品问世。中国歌剧舞剧院经过两年多精心打磨才隆重推出的大型民族音乐剧《花木兰》便是其最新成果之一。作为同行,为中国原创音乐剧家族又添新成员而感到由衷欣喜,同时也提出几个值得研究的问题,供剧组和业内同行们共同探讨。 It is correct to say that musical theater is a very free art, but it is still regular and has its own rules of quality. Otherwise, the musical can not exist as an independent integrated stage art, develop and swept the world for more than 100 years. For more than 20 years, Chinese musical artists have made various explorations in the course of grasping the rules of the musical and have come out with many different styles and styles of works. After more than two years of careful polishing, the grand opera “Mulan” grandly launched at the China Opera and Dance Theater is one of its latest achievements. As a colleague, I am deeply delighted with adding new members to the original musical family in China. I also put forward several questions worthy of study for the crew to discuss with their counterparts in the industry.
