Dupe URL: Lot of Sea of Blood-Style Revolutionary Operas Produced
2008-07-21
Kim Jong Il Productions presents...
Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- Many Sea of Blood-style revolutionary operas were produced in the DPRK for the last decades since the revolutionary opera "Sea of Blood" was staged for the first time on July 17, Juche 60 (1971).
Kim Jung Il takes no prisoners in "Sea of Blood IV: On the Spot Guidance"!
"The Flower Girl in a Sea of Blood", "A Story of a Nurse in a Sea of Blood", "Tell the Story, Forest in a Sea of Blood!" and "The Song of Mt. Kumgang in a Sea of Blood" were created with the "Sea of Blood" as a classic model.
I dunno. I think it needs more cowbell Sea of Blood...
The Sea of Blood-style revolutionary operas are run through with the profound philosophical nature and instill the truth of the class struggle and the revolutionary view on life into the audience and make a proper combination of popular character and national identity and simplicity. They are characterized by new original ways of opera representation such as the introduction of stanzas, pangchang, dances and streamlined three-dimensional stage decor.
... and Seas of Blood.
The first year of the new century witnessed the 1,500th-performance of the revolutionary opera "Sea of Blood". The above-said five revolutionary operas are becoming more popular as the masterpieces of the era with the passage of time.
But "Sea of Blood" remains the grandaddy of them all...
Nearly 300 famous music pieces of the operas are greatly loved by the people of the DPRK for being songs of life and struggle.
Drowning in a Sea of Blood, Sailing in a Sea of Blood, Let Us Build the New Tractor Factory in a Sea of Blood...
The above-said five revolutionary operas were staged in many countries of Asia, Europe and Africa, demonstrating the vitality of the Juche-based opera art to the whole world.
Hey, whadda these people, nuts?
Drawing on the successes made in the creation of the five revolutionary operas, art troupes in Pyongyang and local areas produced such revolutionary operas as "Under the Bright Sun in a Sea of Blood", "The Victory of Revolution Is in Sight in a Sea of Blood", "Sea of Love in a Sea of Blood", "The Bank of the River Tuman Bright with Morning Glow in a Sea of Blood" and "Women of Namgang Village in a Sea of Blood".
Coming up next: "River of Fire", the poor man's "Sea of Blood".
