FINE ART Lights Up the 6th China Opera Festival, a National-Level Artistic Event
On the evening of September 29, the 6th China Opera Festival, hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Fujian Provincial People's Government and jointly organized by the Xiamen Municipal People's Government, the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the China Opera Research Society, concluded successfully in Xiamen, Fujian.
The China Opera Festival is the highest-level and largest national artistic event in China's opera field. This year's festival adopted a dual-city model linking Xiamen and Fuzhou, bringing together 16 outstanding productions and presenting 31 professional performances. It covered four major sections: exhibitions of outstanding productions, thematic seminars, arts popularization and public benefit programs, and creative talent training. The festival fully implemented the requirements of bringing literature and art to the people, used opera as a bond to deepen cross-strait cultural understanding, and gathered tremendous strength to promote the prosperity and development of Chinese opera art. Among the many outstanding works at this year's festival, FINE ART professional lighting fixtures provided full support with precise light and shadow, injecting radiant brilliance blending technology and aesthetics into the contemporary presentation of opera art.
The national opera *Zheng Chenggong* by the Xiamen Song and Dance Theatre served as the closing performance. The opera takes as its main thread Zheng Chenggong's national righteousness in uniting all parties, overcoming all obstacles, and recovering Taiwan. It depicts both his brilliant military achievements that shine in history and his tragic sentiments in the face of a shattered homeland and an unfinished campaign, creating a flesh-and-blood tragic hero between grand narrative and delicate lyricism. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light, with its 1500W high-power output and outstanding color rendering index of Ra and R9 both greater than or equal to 95, accurately reproduced the weighty texture of stage history and the delicate layers of character costumes. The FINE 1700L WASH PERF wash and framing moving head light, equipped with the latest high-efficiency light engine, delivers Ra ≥ 90 and a total luminous flux output of over 50,000 lm, rendering the vast sea, twilight clouds, beacon fires, and setting sun with distinct layers. The FINE 4019 PIXIE PLUS, with its ultra-wide linear zoom range of 4° to 60°, 65 color macros, and 64 effect macros, laid out a delicate and varied emotional foundation for the stage. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three-in-one fixture, together with the FINE 604 BATTEN bar effect light and the FINE 400T LEKO low-color-temperature 3200K LED profile light, painted dynamic light accents for the transitions of time and space. The FINE 1400SF follow spot closely followed every solitary figure on stage with its full beam.
The Shaanxi Song and Dance Theatre's *Zhang Qian* distills dramatic plots from historical records and legends, using human separations and reunions to write about the great achievement of opening up the Western Regions, celebrating the pioneering spirit with Silk Road charm, integrating Eastern and Western civilizations, and showcasing the patriotic passion and heroic spirit of a giant of his era. The FINE 1700LH BSWF, with its dual color wheels with 12 professional color filters, CMY infinite color mixing combined with CTO linear color temperature adjustment, one rotating gobo wheel with 6 pluggable gobos, and one fixed gobo wheel with 9 gobos working together with a dynamic effect wheel, slowly unfolded the magnificent scroll of desert smoke and Silk Road camel bells in precise light and color, making every step of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions tread upon a historical scroll woven with light and shadow.
The original national opera *March of the Volunteers* by the Shanghai Opera House artistically recreates the birth of the national anthem and portrays the group image of left-wing literary and artistic pioneers. Since its premiere, it has been performed more than 50 times, witnessing historical moments such as the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance. The FINE 1770L BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay with its superior long-throw capability, with an effective range of up to 100 meters, transforming the stage into a historical scroll transcending time and space. Its outstanding light quality, with Ra and R9 both reaching up to 95, accurately reproduced the resolute expressions and plain clothing of left-wing literary and artistic pioneers in the war-torn years. Its patented cooling system maintains full-power operation at room temperature without derating, with noise below 45dB, protecting with silence the solemnity and sanctity of the moment the national anthem was born.
As the arias of opera echo for a long time in the night sky over the Egret Island, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating the brilliant chapters of the 16 outstanding productions at the 6th China Opera Festival, but also reflecting the contemporary spirit of Chinese opera art as it carries forward its original aspiration through tradition and innovation and embarks together on a new journey.
