On the evening of July 19th, the theater of the National Centre for the Performing Arts was packed, and the audience was immersed in the beautiful melody of the world classic opera "The Marriage of Figaro". At the same time, the play was simultaneously broadcast live for the first time in nearly a hundred theaters in more than 30 cities across the country through the National Centre for the Performing Arts' "Second Scene". Technology empowers art, achieving this grand artistic feast that transcends time and space. The live broadcast of 'The Marriage of Figaro' is another breakthrough in the stage art of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, following the live broadcast of the play 'Lin Zexu'. ”Wang Ning, Secretary of the Party Group and President of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, said that opera integrates various art forms such as music, drama, and dance, and more comprehensively reflects the artistic quality of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Before the performance began that evening, the public space of the National Centre for the Performing Arts played the saxophone quartet version of the overture "The Marriage of Figaro". Host Li Jiaming and soprano Zhang Liping interpreted the "artistic code" of this opera for the audience during the guided tour. I am the 'number one lead' for audiences from all over the country tonight, and the 'second scene' allows audiences to see world-class performances right at their doorstep, "Li Jiaming told reporters. It is reported that the total score of the opera "The Marriage of Figaro" is over 730 pages long, containing nearly 3000 precisely connected shots, which puts extremely high demands on live streaming technology. Opera is more difficult to live stream than drama, and we have made a lot of efforts in terms of visuals, sound, subtitles, etc. We hope that the audience can experience the charm of stage art masterpieces firsthand in the theater. ”Hou Keming, a professor in the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy and a live streaming consultant for the drama, said. With the support of digital technology, the stage and screen are rushing in both directions, and the beauty of art reaches more audiences. It is reported that the National Centre for the Performing Arts will collaborate with 35 theaters across the country to establish a "Second Scene" joint cooperation group, further deepening resource cooperation and creating a mutually beneficial theater cultural consumption cooperation system. The number of people who come to the theater to watch performances is limited, but with the help of the 'second scene', more people can learn about art, understand art, and love art. The National Centre for the Performing Arts will continuously innovate its art dissemination model and promote the improvement of cultural literacy among the entire population through art. ”Wang Ning said.
