Abstract

This article explores the scientific transformation and institutional restructuring of the occupational health protection system for Chinese opera performers. With the continuous injection of funds for modern theater construction and intangible cultural heritage protection, the occupational health issues of opera performers have become increasingly prominent, becoming a core contradiction that constrains artistic inheritance. The article first analyzes the conflict between traditional techniques and scientific ethics, pointing out the tendency towards physical instrumentalization in opera training and the institutionalization of high-risk actions. It then proposes solutions through technological empowerment and organizational change, including the application of intelligent equipment, the introduction of scientific knowledge, modernization of theater troupes, and enhanced public awareness. Finally, the article outlines practical paths for systematic restructuring, including building a three-tiered support system, continuously promoting the foundational reconstruction of scientific protection, and reconstructing value systems and industry standards. These measures aim to break the tragic narrative of "hard training leading to success," construct a protection system that respects the dignity of performers, and promote the sustained prosperity and development of opera art while inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture. The article argues that the scientific transformation and institutional restructuring of the occupational health protection system for Chinese opera performers is an inevitable choice in the evolution of civilization.
