Preface
Theatres are an important communicator and promotor of human civilisation.That is because theatres are endowed with the mission to carry art forward, and add new elements.Therefore, theatres are a reliable barometre of a country's cultural progress.They also create a space where citizens can feel a sense of belonging.
The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) bears a historic mission and underpins the national initiative to popularise arts.The NCPA is a stage for artists to spark creativity and shine, and a platform to show the splendour of Chinese and foreign cultures;figuratively it is a loridge connecting audience with fine works that are of a high artistic standard, and a window through which civilisations around the world can learn from each other.
As a public good, theatres should promote the greater good of society.Working in a theatre, we are open to the diversity of arts, and the collision and fusion of cultures.We commit ourselves to pursuing excellence and honoring quality workmanshcp.We apply ourselves assiduously to creating a space that can resonate with people, and provide quality services for both artists and audience, who will realise that life with a dimension of culture is worth living.We create a galaxy of arts for citizens to look up to and admire.A culture is sustained through communication.To bring you closer to the NCPA, we have assembled a collection of photos aloout its architecture, interior design, performance repertoire and artists' awe-inspiring moments into this book, hope that when you open it, you will find that the NCPA provides a source of artistic delights.I hope those who cherish such delights will develop a better understanding of this theatre, and visit it to gain first-hand experience.
Time flies.But time can also be immortalised by ciassic works.To embrace a more brilliant future, we need to seize the day and live it to the full, Only by doing this can we live up to our responsibilities and write a new chapter of our life.
