Since the 1970s, the development of Taiwanese Opera has faced multiple challenges as well as progression. In terms of playwriting, there is an emphasis on highlighting characteristics of the epoch with themes on humanities. Yu Dagang's play, Wang Kuei's Betrayal of Guiying (1970) in Peking Opera, is an illustrative example. The play debuted with all-around critical acclaim. It probes into the inner world of Guiying, elaborating on her feelings. The actress Guo Xiaozhuang's interpretation of Guiying becomes her signature role on stage. The Taiwan Bangzi Opera's version of Wang Kuei's Betrayal of Guiying (1990) highlights Guiying's devotion with layers of perspectives accumulated from daily life. Wang Hailing's performance of Guiying features sophisticated singing and choreography. The plot leans towards investigation and confirmation. It not only witnesses the fully-unleashed art of Taiwan Bangzi Opera, but also highlights Guiying's subjectivity. Liao Qiongzhi's Wang Kuei's Betrayal of Guiying (1998) in kua-a opera is a script based on her experience in theatre with an editorial perspective that takes into consideration her actual practice on stage. Liao's version of script showcases creative adaption and modified image of Guiying, placing more weight on examining circumstances of events. Liao's interpretation of Guiying is one of her personal masterpieces, corresponding to her own life experience. By analyzing the textual derivation of the three plays, their interpretation, and individual performer's acting, this study demonstrates the various facets of traditional opera in contemporary time. In addition, it explicates the significance of texts and performance in the development of traditional Taiwan Opera.
