尽管曾是浙江小百花越剧团的“五朵金花”之一，但已在影视圈颇有建树的杨婷娜现在往往会被视为影视明星。不过这位影视明星今年却以一张越剧专辑获得了由中国唱片总公司主办的被认为是唱片界权威性大奖的“金唱片奖”，将于本月中旬赴海南参加颁奖典礼。得知自己自费出版的《杨婷娜越剧名段精选》获得了“金唱片奖”戏曲专辑奖后，杨婷娜感到既意外又激动，她表示：“尽管离开越剧舞台那么多年，但与越剧的感情和联系从未间断过，心中一直怀着深深的眷恋。”

《杨婷娜越鼓名段精选》是她前年自费出版的一套专辑，收录了20段越剧张（云霞）派的经典唱段，并邀请了小提琴协奏曲《梁祝》的作者何占豪为这些老唱段重新编曲。她说：“虽然这些年来主要忙于影视剧的创作，但很多时候我总是以越剧演员身份参加中央电视台和名家名段演唱会上的演出。每每chanting these beautiful singing, it's as if I'm back to those glorious years of Little Hundred Flowers.”

As for participating in the creation of this album, He Zhanhou chuckled and said it was because he had once called Yang Tingna "a movie star who defected from the Yueju world", which gave her an excuse to ask him to compose for this album. Since He Zhanhou was involved, the music on this album is particularly meticulous. He spent months composing for each song in the album and hired the best orchestra to accompany them. He Zhanhou candidly admitted that now few Peking Opera albums are so meticulous in terms of music; this also reflects Yang Tingna's investment in the album.
