Along the soaring of Taiwan Economy, rising of the GDP, more multi-entertainment types, various entertainments have gone through multi changes, such as film, TV, music and other local operas, no matter activity places, program contents, leisure facilities, and participation ways, and so on.In comparison, Chinese opera not only can not keep pace of the fashion, but also cannot reflect the ideas of the contemporary content-wise.Therefore, audience has been stagnated to its own fans, and the show cannot provide more incentives to the young groups.Impacted by the crisis sub-consciousness of losing population, modernization of the opera has become a trend.

Guoguang Opera House combines modern technology facilities.

In the process of interview, President Chen and Professor Lee have uttered in agreement that reviewing the past couple years, there have been more and more new items and less old ones in the performance of local opera.It is mainly to cope with the changing requirement of the age.However, from the heritage of cultural art point-of-view, although Guoguang Opera Company has adjusted along the social pulse; however, it has to be based on the traditional roots.Adaptation of the old opera to new one, combining modern theater concepts, introducing professional director, playwright, stage designer, and marketing, to re-create all sounds, movements, staging art and packaging them to market, it not only represents the talents and flavor of the authentic old opera with brand new visual effects under the aids of modern technology, and thus attracts groups of children, parents, youth to watch the show.

plot that combines traditional and modern to let audience have the brand new visual enjoyment.

Finally, we considered the traditional opera as crystal heritage of creation for hundred years accumulated local art characteristics and wisdom of ancestry.It needs high respect and protection.Should the traditional art culture be disappeared, it represents a nation or ethnicity without culture. This is horrible.Therefore, while we are pursuing newness and change, we should think over how to preserve our cultural assets.
