傳統粤劇例戲及排場折子戲展演

內容簡介：

又名《夜送京娘》，傳統「大排場十八本」之一。此劇本是花臉與花旦的應工戲，內含「配馬」傳統排場，生角以身段做手，表現裝鞍、配轡、踏腳上馬等動作。唱腔方面，在京娘跪唱一段「打洞腔」，細訴其身世經歷，韻味十足。本劇《打洞結拜》的「結拜」排場，情節及內容均比較詳細及齊全，可套用在不同合適的情節中。此外，粤劇還有「大戰結拜」、「斬帶結拜」等排場。

Synopsis: This is a play taken from the grand formulaic set, Eighteen Dapaichang Plays, of the Qing Dynasty. It has an alternative title of Accompanying Jingniang at Night. It is the bravura piece for a hualian (painted face) and huadan (lead female). It features the traditional routine of ‘preparing the horse for action’, which includes a series of miming actions carried out by the male actor – saddling and bridling the horse, stepping on the stirrup to mount, etc. The distinguished singing of Jingniang is known as ‘the grotto aria’, performed with her kneeling and telling of who she is, and what has happened to her to bring her to the grotto. There are also more formulaic routines related to the ‘sworn pledge’ in Cantonese Opera, extracted from this play but embellished with more content details to fit into the plot of other plays.

This is a story about Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of Song before he ascends the throne. He is a fugitive, wanted for killing someone when trying to help another. On the road, he comes to the Grotto of the God of Thunder. He hears a woman crying, and goes on to open it up. The young woman is Zhao Jingniang, who is abducted by bandits when she goes to sweep the ancestor’s grave and is trapped here. Out of chivalry, Zhao Kuangyin offers to accompany her home all through the night. To avoid social taboos, he and Jingniang become sworn brother-and-sister.
