The outdoor Taiwanese Gezi opera has all along been closely related to the Taiwanese temple thanksgiving activities. In addition, its troupes' wax and wane, its acting fields, and its performing patterns have transformed and diverged following the changes of social environment in Taiwan. The most important factor causing these changes is the ”music,” on which this paper now focuses its attention.
For a long time the Taiwan government showed little concern about the performance of outdoor Gezi Opera. In this past decade, however, it actively encouraged and assisted this performing art. As a result, the outdoor Gezi opera performance has been promoted and improved somewhat, though still restricted to few dramatic troupes and limited number of performances. Among the advocating efforts, the project entitled ”The Production and Presentation of Taiwanese Gezi Opera” funded by the National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF) stands a typical example. According to my observation, there remain several issues deserving serious consideration and research in this case. This paper thus explores the future possibilities in promoting the music of the outdoor Gezi opera.
