From March 1 to 2, the Sichuan opera Jiang Jie created and choreographed by Chongqing Sichuan Opera House—the only opera performance of Chongqing that had been chosen for the Excellent Stage Artistic Performances in the New Era—was staged twice successively at Mei Lanfang Theatre in Beijing and achieved a great success.
The performance—starring Shen Tiemei, Vice Chairwoman of China Theatre Association, Chairwoman of Chongqing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Director-General of Chongqing Sichuan Opera House—depicted Chinese martyrs and revolutionaries like Jiang Jie (Sister Jiang) who lived for their ideals and died for their beliefs.
Performance of this time was the fourth time that the Sichuan opera Jiang Jie had been staged in Beijing within the last five years and also the first time that the opera had been performed in the capital after winning the Wenhua Award, according to a source. In 2019, the Sichuan Opera House of Chongqing was invited to perform this Sichuan opera at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Party School of the Central Committee of C.P.C (Communist Party of China). Since May 2021 when this opera—the only one from Chongqing—was selected into the list of excellent stage artistic works to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Sichuan Opera House of Chongqing has performed it at several colleges and universities such as Tsinghua University and the Renmin University of China, and the opera with a unique singing style has been widely welcomed by students there.
