Urban Politics and Cultural Capital
Taylor & Francis
This is the first book to take an interdisciplinary approach to the story of the Shanghai Yue Opera, bringing history, arts management, central and regional government policy, urbanisation, gender, media, and theatre artistic development in one. Through the story of the Shanghai Yue Opera House market reform this book facilitates an understanding of the complex Chinese political economic situation in post-socialist China. This book suggests that as state art institutions are key organs of the Communist party gaining legitimacy, the vigorous evolution and struggle of the Shanghai Yue Opera house in fact directly mirrors the Communist Party internal turmoil in the new millennium to gain its own legitimacy and survival. > This book tells the story of how a regional Chinese theatrical form, Shanghai Yue Opera, evolved from the all-male \u2019beggar\u2019s song\u2019 of the early twentieth century to become the largest all-female opera form in the nation, only to face increasing press.
