The classic national opera The Daughter of the Party was produced and set on stage by the Song and Dance Ensemble of General Political Department of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (now known as the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Art Troupe) in 1991 in order to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the CPC. It is an important work on the theme of revolutionary history created in the 1990s and one of the most influential national classic operas of China. The opera is adapted from the film of the same title premiering in 1958. The libretto was discussed by WANG Jian, HE Dongjiu and WANG Shouyuan, but YAN Su did the actual writing. The music was composed by WANG Zujie, ZHANG Zhuoya, YIN Qing, WANG Xiren, JI Cheng and FANG Tianxing. The debut round was performed by artists including PENG Liyuan, YANG Hongji and SUN Liying. As a work jointly created by many outstanding Chinese artists, it won the Second Wenhua Award in 1992 and was performed in 1999 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the PRC. It has won numerous national art awards. Since its premiere in 1991, the opera has been staged for over hundreds of times, receiving amazing acclaim. The classic arias in the opera, including “There is a Shining Star over the Horizon”, “Home is Full of Spring Scenery” and “Azalea”, are widely sung.

NCPA opera The Daughter of the Party (Revival) has been included in the “Fine Stage Art Creation Project for the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the CPC” by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and selected for the “Excellent Stage Artwork for the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the CPC” by the Publicity Department of the CPC, Ministry of Culture and Tourism and China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The NCPA will produce a new effect of stage art on the basis of the premiere version according to the production principle of “cultural inheritance and innovation”. Directed by WANG Jun, who used to be a director at the Song and Dance Ensemble of General Political Department, the opera is starred by soprano LEI Jia and baritone LIAO Changyong under the baton of the conductor LI Xincao in cooperation with outstanding artists from the China NCPA Chorus, China NCPA Orchestra and China National Traditional Orchestra to pay tribute to the classic and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC.
