a National Class One Performer specialized in the wenwu xiaosheng (all-round
male) roles, the winner of the first Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Theatre and
recipient of the Life Achievement Award presented by the New York Lincoln
Center.
Shaolan (1942-), a native of Beijing and son of Ye Shenglan. Born into the
art, Ye Shaolan's father Ye Shenglan started learning Peking Opera at the age of
9. First cast in female roles, Shenglan was soon retrained to play young males,
known as "xiaosheng" - a category in which he became famous. Today, the style
that he once championed, characterized by powerful vocals, has been canonized as
the Ye School.
Ye Shaolan was a graduate of China Traditional Opera School. Later he pursued
further study at the Central Drama Academy. At the same time, he was taught by
Jiang Miaoxiang, Xiao Lianfang, Yan Qinglin etc. He was taught by his father the
repertoires of A Meeting of Heroes, The Eight Mallets, Luo Cheng Calling at the
City Gate etc. Later he became a disciple of Maestro Yu Zhenfei and was
personally coached by Yu in the repertoire of Li Bai Writing in an Inebriated
State and The Amazing Couples. His stage appearance is handsome. His vocal
delivery is flexible so that he is good at portraying both the military and
civil young male roles. He is therefore dubbed 'the Prince of Peking Opera'. His
repertoire includes General
Lu Bu and Beauty Diao Chan, A Meeting of Heroes, Butterfly Lovers, General
Luo Cheng, etc.
