敬啟者：

 雅部共賞――細味崑曲之美

         為慶祝拔萃男書院創校一百四十週年，並讓更多中學生認識我國的文化瑰寶，拔萃男書院誠意邀請蘇州中國崑曲博物館，於十月二十日及二十一日親臨本校禮堂獻技。我校特意邀請　閣下蒞臨欣賞是次表演，一起細味蘊藉委婉的崑曲美學，同時亦為這難得的文化盛會增添色彩和光芒。

崑韻情長，經歷了六百年的歷史，典雅的文辭、清俊的曲調體現了中國文化的美學，令人驚豔。崑曲被稱為「雅部」，是高雅、正統的戲曲，是最能表現中國傳統美學抒情、寫意、象徵、詩化的一種藝術，是能夠把歌、舞、詩、戲糅合得精緻優美的一種表演形式。崑曲的藝術成分滋養了各地戲種，被尊稱為中國「百戲之袓」，更於2001 年被聯合國教科文組織列為「人類口述非物質文化遺產」之首項，肯定了崑曲的卓著藝術成就。

 中國崑曲博物館來自崑曲的發源地──蘇州，集搶救、保護、研究、培訓、展演等功能於一體，是傳承崑曲藝術的舞台和展示崑曲藝術風采的基地。中國崑曲博物館是次到校演出兩晚，第一晚的劇目是曲詞優美的《玉簪記》，第二晚則演出三段折子戲，分別為《孽海記‧下山》、《牡丹亭‧驚夢》及《占花魁‧湖樓》。

 崑曲的藝術成就之高，實為青年人的美育典範。藉着是次中國崑曲博物館的獻演，拔萃男書院希望將崑曲藝術帶進校園，培養年青學子認識及欣賞這門精緻藝術。我校專誠邀請　閣下與我們一同感受中華文化的古樸魅力，詳情如下：

 日期：十月二十日及十月二十一日

時間：下午五時三十分至六時，中式茶點招待

下午六時至六時十五分，入座

下午六時十五分後，正式演出（劇長約一百分鐘，不設中場休息）

地點：拔萃男書院禮堂

            劇目：十月二十日  ─ 《玉簪記》

                          十月二十一日─  折子戲

1.《占花魁‧湖樓》

2.《孽海記‧下山》

3.《牡丹亭‧驚夢》

隨函附上入場券，如蒙　閣下撥冗出席，實為我校的光榮！煩請填妥回條，並於十月十九日前傳真（27119407）至本校林小潔老師，以便安排、跟進。如有任何疑問，歡迎致電27685645與林小潔老師聯絡。

 此致

拔萃男書院舊生會
