A "red" revolutionary concert has been held to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The concert was held in front of the former Fudeli, a typical Shanghai shikumen (stone-gate) neighborhood, where about a century ago the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held and the first CPC Constitution was written. It now stands as a memorial.
Conductor Xu Zhong led the Shanghai Opera House orchestra to play several classic "red" music pieces such as "Ode to the Red Flag," "Ode to the Yellow River" and "On the Field of Hope."
In 2021, Jing'an debuted its first original "red" drama "Once Upon A Time in Fudeli," telling stories of the Party's early days and China's winding journey to national rejuvenation. So far, it has toured nationwide more than 40 times.
At the concert, a reinterpreted mixed-voice octet version of the eponymous theme song "Fudeli" was performed. (Source: Shanghai Daily)
