潘玉良出身貧苦，當時的中國因受西方科技以及自由思想影響，而推行現代化的時代。得到丈夫潘贊化的鼓勵，潘氏抓住機會，遠赴法國留學進修藝術。她花近十年時間學習素描、繪畫和雕塑創作。素描是西方藝術訓練的重要基石，潘氏擅長人體繪描，預示了她日後出色和標誌性的女性裸體作品。可是，因為當時社會認為人體寫生有損道德風氣之舉，潘玉良的作品受到強烈批判。為了尋找自由的創作空間，潘氏在1937年再赴法國進修。在往後40年的努力，潘玉良終得以大放異彩，成為中華繪畫史上為尊嚴與美麗而燃燒的浴火鳳凰。

《畫魂》，四幕的中文歌劇，讓觀眾認識潘玉良由入讀上海美專、留學巴黎、回國任教，及因僱用祼體女模而掀起的軒然大波的經歷。

這齣歌劇，集合了兩位國家文藝獎的資深創作者；作曲家錢南章以簡鍊的音樂語彙展現潘玉良的細密心思，劇作家王安祈則以虛實交錯的動人文藻刻畫潘玉良為藝術奉獻的一生。法國新銳導演茱麗葉．德尚（Juliette   Des  champs）及曾獲「法國藝術及文學騎士勳章」的亞洲女指揮家葉詠詩，將與NSO國家交響樂團攜手合作，一同開啟華人世界中文歌劇嶄新的一頁。擔綱演唱的林惠珍、巫白玉璽、徐林強也是聲樂界的黃金組合。讓愛樂者和愛藝術的我們一起進入潘玉良聲情炫惑的歌畫世界！

Born to humble origins, Pan Yu-Lin came of age when China underwent rapid modernization influenced by western science and democracy. Encouraged by her husband Pan Zanhua, Pan seized the chance to be one of the first Chinese females to study fine arts in France, spending almost a decade studying drawing, painting and sculpture. The cornerstone of her western training was life drawing; she excelled at figure painting, which foreshadowed her signature mature works of female nudes. However, her paintings of nude females were a challenge to the cultural norms in the 1920’s China and generated much controversy in the art scene in the early Republic years. To pursue independent visual language, Pan traveled to Paris again in 1937. Over 40 years in France, Pan successfully established herself as a “warrior of beauty”, leaving behind a legacy of art that represented the pride and passion of an independent woman.

Opera La Peintre, Yu-Lin allows the audience to discover Pan’s story from studying at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, studying in Paris, returning to Shanghai to teach, and the uproar caused by the use of nude models.

Composer Nan-Chang Chien, playwright An-Chi Wang, French director Juliette Deschamps, and conductor Wing-Sie Yip, under the auspices of the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra, have put the legendary life of Pan Yu-Lin onto the musical stage.
