FINE ART Supports the Trial Performance of the Large-Scale Original South Anhui Flower Drum Opera Silver Statue No. 6
On the afternoon of September 30, the trial performance of the large-scale original South Anhui Flower Drum Opera *Silver Statue No. 6* was held at the Red Star Auditorium in Xuancheng. The opera is adapted from the tragic and heroic deeds of three generations of the family of Communist Party member Mei Dadong, who sacrificed their lives to protect a silver statue of Marx. At the performance, the audience and guests watched the entire production immersively and were deeply moved by the dramatic revolutionary story, the fervent patriotism, and the fearless perseverance of the revolutionary spirit. They highly recognized the production's creative concept of using South Anhui Flower Drum Opera as a vehicle to vividly recreate local red history and carry forward the revolutionary spirit.
After the trial performance, an expert seminar on the trial performance of *Silver Statue No. 6* was held promptly. Domestic theatre experts, municipal leaders, and the creative team gathered together to provide precise guidance on the production from multiple dimensions including script refinement, character portrayal, vocal design, stage arrangement, red expression, and the characteristics of the theatrical genre. Mei Jingjun, a descendant of the revolutionary martyr Mei Dadong, attended the event and offered suggestions on character portrayal and story details based on the historical facts of family inheritance. He expressed the hope that the production would preserve historical authenticity, carry forward the faith of the predecessors, and allow the red spirit embodied in "Silver Statue No. 6" to be passed down from generation to generation through South Anhui Flower Drum Opera.
In this stage presentation of a red revolutionary theme, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to paint the backdrop of the times for the revolutionary past of the South Anhui region. The FINE 1700 WASH PERF wash and framing moving head light, with a total luminous flux of over 50,000 lm and excellent color rendering of Ra ≥ 90, together with two color wheels each with 6 colors plus white, CMY infinite color mixing, and CTO linear color temperature adjustment, rendered the vast night of the South Anhui mountains and the faint glow of the revolutionary spark with distinct layers. A framing system rotatable ±90° precisely framed the figures of revolutionaries holding fast to their faith in the dark night.
The FINE 1800 PERF and FINE 1400 PERF pattern and framing moving head lights worked in tandem as the mainstay of stage shaping. The former, with a 188mm output lens and a total luminous flux output of over 39,000 lm, delivers a thick, full beam for long-distance projection within a 5° to 45° zoom range, and uniform light spots for close-range coverage. The latter, with a 140mm output lens and a total luminous flux output of over 35,000 lm, can achieve a frost effect by adjusting focus without changing the beam size or luminous flux output. Both fixtures integrate intelligent fan control, encoder positioning, and main and secondary reflector designs, freely switching between grand and delicate to render the smoke of war and the moments of deep emotion in the revolutionary journey, freezing every historical moment with crisp clarity.
The FINE 4037 WASH PLUS high-power LED moving head wash light, with its all-new optical design, balances uniform color mixing and soft effects. Its wide 4° to 60° zoom range effortlessly meets diverse lighting needs from solo monologues to impassioned ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of red-themed traditional opera. The FINE 608 BATTEN LED moving head bar effect light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four-in-one light sources and a light output exceeding 6,000 lm, delivers a full, non-crossing beam at the narrowest angle within a 5° to 50° zoom range and excellent color mixing at wide angles, painting dynamic light accents for the flow of time and space on stage.
As the vocal melodies of South Anhui Flower Drum Opera echo for a long time in the Red Star Auditorium, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating the fervent revolutionary past behind "Silver Statue No. 6," but also reflecting the unwavering power of faith and unchanging original aspiration of the revolutionary predecessors.
