Abstract

Experimental small theatre Yu Opera Resurrection organically adapts a renowned Western literary work with a regional Chinese opera, embracing further possibilities for the modernization, rejuvenation, and globalization of contemporary Chinese opera. Utilizing Yu Opera, one of China's famous traditional operas as its medium, this production combines the essence of Western literary classics with the expressive techniques of Chinese opera, presenting unique artistic charm and cultural value. This essay focuses on the experimental small theatre Yu Opera Resurrection. It first reviews the exploratory history and research background of cross-cultural adaptations in Chinese opera and subsequently identifies the successful aspects of the adaptation in the Yu Opera Resurrection. In the end, the experiences and insights gained from cross-cultural opera adaptation are summarized by considering audience reception.
