北京曲剧

北京曲剧是北京唯一地方戏曲剧种。五十年代初由魏喜奎等老艺人根据单弦化妆彩唱创演，经老舍先生提议定名为北京曲剧。它擅长“现代戏”和“清装戏”，风格朴实，生活气息浓郁。唱腔旋律优雅，通俗易懂，韵味独特。有人赞誉“花虽小而清香，色清淡且典雅”。

Beijing Qu Opera

    It is the only Beijing local operatic genre found by Wei Xikui and other artists and named through the suggestion of Mr Lao She in the early fifties.Fitting especially to modern and Qing-dressed plays,it has a simple style,a liveiness of living color,a graceful melody,and easy for understanding. “A flower small but sweet,a color light but elegant” is what people praise it.

《烟壶》

会烧珍品鼻壶的聂小轩被王爷看中，逼他烧一套《八中联军占北京》的烟壶去巴结东洋人，聂小轩宁断手指也不肯辱没祖先，方引发了这般撕心动魄的故事。北京曲剧艺术家们精湛的表演，令满台生辉，构成了一幅老北京的市井俗画，有浓厚的京域文化韵味。

“Snuff Bottle”

  A lord currying favor with the Japanese wants Nie Xiaoxuan the artisan to bake a snuff bottle with“The Eight Powers Occupy Beijing”as the theme.Nie would rather have his own fingers cut than disgrace his ancestors,hence the soul-stirring story.The consummate performance of the artists of Beijing Qu Opera Institute make the whole stage brilliant,offering a genre of ancient Beijing.
