With sonorous gongs and drums and melodious opera rhyme, along with the singing of classic operas on the stage, the finals of the "One Person One Art Cup" Ningbo 2nd Opera Competition was held at the Shaw Theater last night. In the amazing competition of 15 “famous amateur performers”, 3 of them got the highest score of 9.950. According to the rules of the game, Zhang Haiyan and Shi Yan won the gold medal. 5 contestants including Wang Chunfeng and Li Xinian won the silver medal, and 8 people including Zhao Xueping and Zhang Yutong won the bronze medal. The wonderful performance really thrilled the audience.

This Opera Competition kicked off in November last year. It lasted more than 4 months. More than 1,000 contestants from 10 districts and counties (cities) participated in the audition, including old people who were obsessed with opera, young children who were new to the stage, young people who likes traditions, and experienced award-winning performers.  

Jun Xiaojun, the winner of the Drama Plum Blossom Award, is one of the judges of this competition. She believes that the level of the contestants has been greatly improved compared to the previous year. In particular, many performers from private troupes came to participate in the competition, involving multiple types and genres, which increased the intensity of the competition and enhanced the richness of the fans. At the same time, she is pleased to find that the level of student contestants is getting higher and higher, and hopes to set up a special youth category in the future
