In 2017, the production “Lao XieTakes Office“ won over audiences and experts alike immediately upon its release, thanks to its intricate and touching storyline, witty and humorous performance, and the unique vocal style of Yugu Opera. On May 23, 2019, it went on to win the 18th “Star Award“ in the drama category.

　　In recent years, Zhanhua Yugu Opera has seen a continuous stream of outstanding works. “Jinxi Hexi“ was adapted from the Tang Dynasty legend “Yixia“ and tolda story of revenge and gratitude set in the late Tang period. The plot was full of twists and turns, and it was thought-provoking.“ Boiling the Sea Water“ was the first-ever Yugu Opera to present the theme of “salt culture“ on the stage. The work used “salt“ as a medium to connect history and the present, refining and deepening its theme through the essence of salt culture. The entire production combined the vivid charm of traditional opera with the novelty of modern aesthetics, offering audiences a brand-new audio-visual experience.

　　These original works have not only been performed to packed houses locally, but have also been invited multiple times to participate in national drama exhibitions, where they have garnered widespread acclaim. “Jinxi Hexi“ has even received invitations to international stages and is set to become the first Yugu Opera production to step onto the global stage. As a result, Zhanhua Yugu Opera and its troupe have emerged as a dark horse among local drama troupes, forging a unique path to breaking through.

　　More encouragingly, the success of Zhanhua Yugu Opera has attracted the attention of a large number of young people. Many young talents from top-tier universities have joined the troupe, bringing in fresh blood as well as cutting-edge concepts.
