查看全校演出《狮子王》的精彩回顾！

《狮子王》作为一部经典迪士尼动画电影，自1994年上映以来，陪伴了几代人的成长。原版电影的音乐由作曲大师汉斯.季默与埃尔顿.约翰创作，并在1997年被改编成了音乐剧，在纽约百老汇与伦敦西区巡演。难忘的旋律以及激昂的舞蹈，令人印象深刻。《狮子王》的故事线索源于英国大师莎士比亚的戏剧《哈姆雷特》，而创作时导演充分结合非洲文化，剧中角色大多采用斯瓦西里语的词汇命名，比如辛巴是“狮子”，木法沙是“国王”，娜娜是“天赋”，充分体现了文化的融合。

作为哈罗珠海学年“全校剧作”项目，《狮子王》的演员涵盖了哈罗珠海所有的学生。音乐组与艺术组的老师们巧妙的通过音乐搭建剧情，每个年级都承担其中一部分歌舞表演。而为了故事的完整性，哈罗珠海G9的IGCSE戏剧课程的同学担起了重担，通过创作独立的旁白和领衔角色，以生动的方式将所有年级音乐表演串联起来，形成了一出完美的演绎。

演出开始时，G5 班表演了美妙的歌曲《生生不息》，他们栩栩如生演绎动物游行，用空间意识投射和改变自己的声音以适应角色，似乎将非洲大草原搬到了学校舞台上。

G1和G2班的学生合唱了《迫不及待当国王》，接着是G7班的表演了刀疤的阴谋《做好准备》。

G3班的学生欢快地演唱了《Hakuna Matata》G4的学生用他们可爱的舞蹈动作和彭巴和丁满的滑稽表演为故事带来了一些浪漫的气氛。

而在压轴大戏《终极大战》中，G6 的同学通过夸张的动作和运动技巧，演绎除了辛巴与刀疤的殊死搏斗，为正常剧目带来了紧张的高潮。 每一个场景的变化都由学生自行完成，观众们在不同的场景中快速切换，对剧情的发展发出声声赞叹。

除了戏剧表演，今年的《狮子王》剧目还融合了多种乐器表演，让家长和观众们耳目一新。原作中的经典场景《今夜爱无限》一曲，就是由高年级的同学通过小提琴、萨克斯、钢琴等乐器进行的四重奏。而在《惊逃狂奔》一幕中，同学们除了通过非洲鼓的演奏渲染氛围，还融入了中国元素—— G8的学生还使用中国传统大鼓，为“狂飙”的表演创造了强有力的背景音乐。

学生感想

Alice LiuG5

我们班在音乐剧《狮子王》表演了一首歌《生生不息》，这首歌表现的是对大自然和生命的敬畏，世间万物生生不息。所有的动物都集结在了非洲大草原上，来庆祝小狮子辛巴的诞生。大家都十分快乐，十分开心见到下一任国王。出场的动物有大象、长颈鹿、犀牛、斑马等等。其中，我扮演的是一只羚羊，我需要做出许多羚羊的动作，比如跳跃、飞奔等等，为此我排练很多次，最后呈现得惟妙惟肖，这真是个难忘的经历

Jerry Li G7

我演唱了狮子王里《迫不及待当国王》这个片段，我在里面扮演的是一头坏狮子刀疤，我们表演的片段是我们正在集结鬣狗，密谋大事，准备去谋害辛巴的爸爸木法沙。这首歌很长，还是全英文的，我要把词都给背下来，还需要边唱边表演，这对我来说挑战很大，但是我还是每天在学校，在家都在听，而且在背歌词。最终在表演的那一天，我很出色地完成了这个表演。

Ryan WangG8

我在狮王中演的是木法沙，是个正派角色，我演那段是我想去拯救我的孩子辛巴，但却落入坏人的圈套，被推下悬崖。在排练的时候，老师跟我说，那段剧情我要在地上爬一圈，一开始我觉得难以接受，但我到舞台之后，发现这反而成了表演的一种特色。开始排练的时候，有些动作我觉得非常尴尬，但是当我真正到了舞台上、放下自己的时候，演的时候才不会有任何负担，才能演出角色的精髓，也能收获观众最大的掌声。

哈罗珠海的学子以精湛表演对经典音乐剧《狮子王》的重新演绎，令人难忘！这一切都离不开这个学期几个月以来学生和老师付出的时间和精力，这一份荣誉属于每一位哈罗人。

哈罗珠海高年级校长

在哈罗珠海，我们确保学生有机会获得广泛的学习工具。戏剧的使用是一个很好的方式，让我们的学生发展他们的口语技能和使用语言的信心。今年，我们开始了IGCSE戏剧课程，事实证明该课程非常受欢迎。学生们研究从莎士比亚等经典作品到现代文本的剧本，也创作自己的戏剧作品。他们在小组中合作，也在自己的独角戏中专研。我们的戏剧学生已经能独当一面，在《狮子王》中带领其他学生演出。接下来，我们将向所有高年级学生开放这个机会，通过戏剧媒介提供独特的演讲和语言发展课程。

哈罗的戏剧项目旨在鼓励创作、激发热爱

通过全校剧作让所有人爱上戏剧

培养哈罗学子成为全面发展的人

发展他们的创造力和自我表达能力

《狮子王》今年圆满落幕

我们期待哈罗学子们

下一学年更精彩的表现！

Drama is a way of learning

that not only enhances expression,

collaboration and self-confidence, but also

promotes language skills

through situational interpretation,

and the famous Shakespeare plays have become

a global treasure in the academic world.

British Shakespeare"s plays are world-renowned.

Harrow has a long tradition of drama,

with many Harroviansmaking a name

for themselves in theatre, television and film,

including the well-known George Arliss and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Click on the video below for a great recap of，

the WholeSchool Production The Lion King!

The Lion King, a classic Disney animated film, has influenced generations since its release in 1994. The original film"s music was composed by master composers Hans Zimmer and Elton John. It was adapted into a musical in 1997 and toured on Broadway in New York and London West End. The unforgettable melodies and rousing choreography are impressive. The story of The Lion King is based on the play Hamlet by Shakespeare, and the director has taken full advantage of the African culture by naming most of the characters after Swahili words, such as Simba as "lion", Mufasa as "king" and Nana "gift", reflecting the fusion of cultures.

The Lion King was performed by all HarrowZhuhaistudents as part of the "WholeSchool Production". The music and art teachers have cleverly built the plot through music, with each grade taking part in the singing and dancing. And to link the integrity of the story, HarrowZhuhaiG9 students from IGCSE Drama class took up the responsibility of creating independent narratives and leading roles to link all the gradesmusical performances in a lively way, creating a perfect interpretation.

The show began with a wonderful performance of the song Circleof Lifeby G5, who seemed to bring the African savannah to the school stage by bringing to life a parade of animals,using spacial awareness, projecting and changing their voices to suit the characters.

The G1 and G2 students sang the chorusof I just Can"t Wait to be King, followed by G7"s performance of Scar"s plot Be Prepared.

The G3 students joyfully sang Hakuna Matata, while those of G4 brought some romance to the storywith their cute dance moves and the antics of Pumba and Timon.

And in the grand finale, The Battle Scene, the G6 students brought a tense climax to the normal play with their exaggerated movements and athletic skills, performing Simba"s fight to the death with Scar. The scene set-ups and changes were all done by the students themselves, and the audience switched quickly between scenes and let out a roar of admiration at the development of the play.

In addition to the theatrical performances, this year"s production of The Lion King also incorporated a variety of instrumental performances which surprised parents and audiences. The classic scene from the original production, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, was performed by a quartet of senior students through violin, saxophone, and piano. In the scene The Stampede, the students not only played African drums to create the atmosphere, but also incorporated Chinese elements - the G8 students also used traditional Chinese drums to create a powerful soundtrack for the exciting performance.

Students" Comments

Alice LiuG5

We performed a song Circle of Lifein The Lion King, which shows a reverence for nature and life, where everything in the world is born. All the animals had gathered on the African savannah to celebrate the birth of Simba. Everyone was very happy to meet the next king. There were elephants, giraffes, rhinos, zebras and many more animals. I played a gazelle and I had to do a lot of antelope movements, such as jumping, darting, etc. I rehearsed this many times and performed well on the stage. It was an unforgettable experience.

Jerry Li G7

I sang the song I just Can"t Wait to be Kingfrom The Lion King, in which I played Scar, a bad lion, and we performed the clip where we were gathering hyenas and plotting something big to kill Simba"s dad, Mufasa. It was a long song, in English, and I had to memorise all the words,sing and perform it, which was a big challenge for me, but I listened to it every day at school and at home. I ended up doing a great job on the day of the show.

Ryan WangG8

I played Mufasa in The Lion King, a decent character, and I played the part where I tried to save my boy Simba but fell into the trap of the bad guys and was pushed off a cliff. During rehearsals, my teacher told me that I had to crawl around on the ground for that part, which I found difficult to accept at first, but when I got on stage, I found that it became a feature of the performance instead. At the beginning of rehearsals, I found some of the movements very awkward, but when I really got on stage and put myself down, I was able to perform the role without any burden, and I was able to perform the essence of the character and gain the greatest applause from the audience.

Harrow Zhuhai"s students put on a superb performance in an unforgettable reinterpretation of the classic musical The Lion King! All this would not have been possible without the time and effort put in by students and teachers over the months of this term, an honour that belongs to every Harrovian.

The Lion King Producer

Head of Upper School

At Harrow Zhuhai we ensure our students have access to a wide range of learning tools. The use of Drama is an excellent way for our students to develop their speaking skills and their confidence in using the language.This year we were able to start our IGCSE Drama course, which has proved very popular. The students have been examining scripts from classics such as Shakespeare to modern text. They have also been creating their own drama pieces. They have collaborated in groups and also worked by themselves on their monologues. Our Drama students have been able to showcase their acting skills, leading other students in The Lion King. We will open the opportunity to all of our Upper School Students by offering exclusive Speech and Language development classes through the medium of Drama.

Harrow"s drama programmes aim to encourage

creativity and inspire a love of drama for

all through whole school production,

nurturing Harrow students to become holisticindividuals,

developing their creativity and self-expression.

The Lion King has come to a

successful end this year and

we look forward to more exciting performances

from Harrow students in the next academic year!
