Research on the Mechanisms and Leading Value of Digital Empowerment for the Sustainable Development of Traditional Opera Troupes

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of digital technologies, traditional opera troupes, as important carriers of traditional cultural inheritance, face sustainable development dilemmas such as audience loss, limited dissemination, and inefficient operations. From the core perspective of digital empowerment, this paper systematically explores the mechanisms through which digital technologies influence the economic, artistic, and inheritance sustainability of traditional opera troupes, and analyzes the leading value of pioneering troupes in industrial transformation. The study finds that digitalization has constructed a new path for the sustainable development of traditional opera troupes through three mechanisms: "cost-saving and revenue-increasing," "creative innovation," and "dynamic inheritance." Leading troupes, meanwhile, drive the digital transformation of the opera industry through three dimensions: industry demonstration, ecological optimization, and cultural communication. Finally, aiming at problems such as superficial technology application and resource barriers, countermeasures such as deepening technology integration and improving support systems are proposed to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the digital transformation of traditional opera troupes.
