Abstract

The French musical "Rouge et Noir" has received high praise from the media in China in recent years and its popularity continues to grow. The musical cleverly combines the theoretical framework of musical narratology and dramatic semiotics, with rock music elements as the core, the integration of classical harmony, diversified vocal singing and pop elements as embellishments, which brilliantly reconstructs the dramatic tension of Stendhal's original work and provides a new "French paradigm" for the modern musical transformation model of classic literary works.
