| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 民俗藝術研究所 === 98 === Taiwanese Opera has experienced a time during the 100-year development. However, with the fast changing of the society, both the social form and the life mode are different from the past. Taiwanese Opera is confronted with tough challenges and the performing environments gradually disappeared. It will undoubtedly meet thorough decline if without any change or innovation.
In December, 2002, "Taiwanese Opera Troupe" launched the first Gospel Taiwanese Opera--Taohua Crossing the Rever. It was the first time that Taiwanese Opera left the traditional performing environment and was shown in the church, developing to an orientation different from the past. During 8 years, 7 operas with different types were launched and shown totally 44 times. This paper is aiming to discuss how the Taiwanese Opera Troupe presents the different styles and features of the opera crossing the performing environments through the study on the Gospel Taiwanese Opera.
The paper starts from the development process of the Gospel Taiwanese Opera and explores its unique performance mode and opera content. It's found that in order to cross the performing environments and enter the church, the first step is to establish the thoughts of love, peace, forgiveness and justice for the opera connotation. Meanwhile, Taiwanese Opera Troupe is bold in making innovations on the music, which not only provides the troupe with sound foundation and new performing environment, but also gives the church a platform to communicate with local residents through Taiwanese Opera.
The innovative experience of the Taiwanese Opera Troupe has proven that Taiwanese Opera can still show its unique artistic charm with proper adjustment in a different performing environment.
