当悠扬的音乐声响起，一群“唐宫小姐姐”莲步轻移，秀逸舞动，婀娜定格……牛年春节，由郑州歌舞剧院创排的古典舞《唐宫夜宴》“牛气冲天”，吸引全国乃至全球观众目光，掀起席卷全国的“现象级”关注热潮。上线播出10天，实现视频超20亿播放量，微博主话题阅读量4.9亿次……  舞蹈《唐宫夜宴》创造的艺术“奇迹”令世人瞩目。

今年10月，作为“礼赞新时代、奋进新征程”——迎接党的二十大优秀电视剧展播活动重点剧目，该舞蹈以电视剧《我们这十年》之《唐宫夜宴》单元剧形式登上荧屏。“唐宫小姐姐”们勇于开拓创新，弘扬中华文化的故事，再次吸引众多观众关注。

十多年来，根植厚重的中原文化，郑州歌舞剧院在“天地之中”的文化幕布上，用“舞蹈”+“中原文化”的创新探索，走出“地方院团、国家水准”的蓬勃发展之路，一次次为古都郑州亮出闪亮的文化名片。

“脸部表情要注意配合肢体语言，尽量丰富表现出唐朝少女的娇憨可爱……”如果您有机会走进郑州歌舞剧院排练厅，一定会被14位青年演员认真排练《唐宫夜宴》的场景所深深吸引。不同于屏幕上的“圆润”，生活中的她们个个纤瘦，神态动作间却是一样的娇憨可爱。

“鬓云欲度香腮雪，衣香袂影是盛唐”。在2021年河南春晚舞台上，《唐宫夜宴》运用5G与AR现代技术将虚拟场景和现实舞台结合，呈现出令人惊叹的舞台效果。牛年大年初一，河南春晚荣登微博综艺榜晚会栏目类第一;《唐宫夜宴》单个视频在微博累计1000万次观看，被人民日报等多家媒体转载点赞。

该剧院舞蹈编导陈琳告诉记者，早在2017年，她便萌生用唯美的古典舞展现厚重中原文化的想法，在寻找素材过程中，她被河南博物院一组绘彩陶伎乐女俑吸引了。“假如让她们活起来，会给今天的人们讲述什么故事?”  有了灵感火花后，在思索如何用舞蹈生动讲好中国故事的实践中，陈琳铆足了劲儿。她翻阅了大量历史书籍，多次请教博物馆专业人士，了解盛唐时期的历史背景、人们的生活习惯、审美取向等，力图在表演中更真实地还原盛唐景象。

历时两年的创意酝酿和一年半的排练打磨，《唐宫夜宴》于2020年10月在第十二届中国舞蹈“荷花奖”古典舞评奖活动现场首演并荣获获奖提名。牛年春节，舞蹈《唐宫夜宴》应邀参加河南卫视春晚录制，最终火爆全网。舞台上，14名正值青春妙龄的唐朝女乐官即将为一场宴会演出，她们各自拿着笙管笛箫，走在小路上嬉戏打闹……  耳目一新的唐装服饰，绯红绚丽的“斜红”妆容等，憨态可掬的舞蹈动作借助VR等现代技术融入到磅礴大气的布景中，完美呈现出一幅“盛唐夜宴图”。

文化“活”了，节目便“火”了，14个“唐宫小姐姐”用灵动的舞蹈跳活了传统文化。

《唐宫夜宴》火爆出圈的背后，凝结着郑州歌舞剧院创作及演员团队的智慧和汗水。据陈琳介绍，为最大限度还原唐三彩乐舞俑的真实形态，从妆容、服饰到仪态、道具，该剧院创作团队对舞蹈创排多个细节进行了深入研究。其中，仅针对如何让演员完美地“胖起来”就花费了大量心思，最终选择在演员嘴里塞医用脱脂棉球让她们的脸“胖”起来，穿上海绵假体衣让身体“胖”起来。就这样，一个个唐三彩乐舞俑生动“复活”了。

“中国古典舞的创作一定要基于对传统文化的深入研究，融合传统文化精髓，以创新的表达方式为载体，才能唤起人们内心深处对传统文化的共鸣，激发文化自信。”作为《唐宫夜宴》的领舞，郑州歌舞剧院首席舞蹈演员易星艳表示  ，她与伙伴们一直在尝试将中国传统文化元素融入现代的表达中，通过持续创新把传统文化立体展现在舞台上。

用舞蹈演绎历史，用舞剧传播文化。从《风中少林》的雄壮威武到《水月洛神》的唯美画卷，从《精忠报国》的家国情怀到《唐宫夜宴》的火爆出圈……通过古典舞的创新表达，厚重的传统文化一次次璀璨绽放，点燃观众根植于心的中华文化自信。自2014年至今，郑州歌舞剧院多次承担国家对外文化交流演出任务，先后出访波兰、匈牙利、保加利亚、越南、南非、斐济、卢森堡、爱尔兰、荷兰、日本、韩国、意大利、俄罗斯等40多个国家和地区，其中两次赴泰国、新西兰、美国，三次赴哈萨克斯坦，受到我国驻外使领馆以及当地观众的高度赞誉。

辛勤耕耘收获累累硕果。自牛年新春《唐宫夜宴》火爆出圈之后，2021年11月，《唐宫夜宴》荣获第十三届全国舞蹈展演优秀节目，并入选第二届中国舞蹈优秀作品集萃。同时，该舞蹈应邀参加2021维也纳联合国中文日活动开幕式、美国华侨华人中秋晚会线上演出、上海国际电影节、2021中国(郑州)国际旅游城市市长论坛等多个大型活动。

今年11月中旬，第十三届中国国际影视动漫版权保护和贸易博览会将在广东省举行。届时，除舞蹈《唐宫夜宴》将在博览会现场进行演出外，历时数月创意开发的《唐宫夜宴》舞蹈官方动漫版IP形象也将在活动现场进行全新发布。展会现场还将举行全网首发的《唐宫夜宴》盲盒新品发布会、《唐宫夜宴》文创产品签售会等精彩活动，带领众多嘉宾一起感受中华传统文化。

“党的二十大报告指出，要坚持以人民为中心的创作导向，推出更多增强人民精神力量的优秀作品。”昨日，郑州歌舞剧院院长孙书杰告诉记者，感谢各级领导以及社会各界多年来对郑州歌舞剧院的关心支持!未来，该院还将持续探索文化创新发展模式，依托厚重的黄河文化和中原文化，努力推出更多本土优秀作品，在广阔的舞台上向世界生动演绎中原文化，更加出彩地讲好“中国故事”。
