The National Grand Theater "opens the door"

　　On June 2nd, due to the impact of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the 130th day after the suspension of performances and visits, the National Grand Theater ushered in the first day of "opening the door". Early in the morning, before the opening hours, there was a long queue at the north gate of the theater. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhu Jing, vice president of the National Grand Theater, led the staff to greet the audience at the entrance, and sent a commemorative cover and postcards to the audience.

Xia Hua first appeared, warm reunion

　　Ms. Jia and her friends who are over 70 years old are loyal audiences of the National Grand Theater. Before the epidemic, they came to the theater almost every week to watch performances. Every weekend, they went to the theater to listen to weekend concerts and participate in classic art lectures. "Every year in March because of the full rest period of the theater, we are a little bit uncomfortable, not to mention that this time interval is so long. I really miss it. When we saw the news of the theater's reopening, we were very excited. I booked the ticket as soon as possible and came over to meet. I will stay here all day today!" Ms. Jia said.

　　During the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, the cultural services of the National Grand Theater were transferred from offline to online. 10 anti-epidemic works, "Spring Online" and "Sounding Summer Flowers" and other online concerts accompanied the audience to spend time at home . Although they interact with the audience in the cloud, both the audience and the staff are looking forward to the day when the theater opens.

　　On the day of June 2, after welcoming the first audience after resuming work, Zhu Jing was very excited. She said that in order to welcome this day, the National Grand Theater has been carefully prepared. In terms of epidemic prevention and control, the theater implements a real-name appointment system, and has formulated a detailed tour plan. The daily visitor reservation is limited to 600 people, and the opening time is adjusted from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00. Every spectator who enters the theater to visit the tour needs to carry out body temperature detection and health code verification to ensure that the prevention and control measures are in place.

　　In addition to those who are entitled to free visits according to regulations, members of the National Grand Theater can make appointments and apply for free tickets based on their visit rights. In order to pay tribute and gratitude to the medical staff who have made outstanding contributions in the fight against the epidemic, the theater is also open to medical staff free of charge during the orderly restricted flow opening visit.

　　Under the conditions of scientific and strict anti-epidemic measures, in order to encourage more audiences to enter the theater, the National Grand Theater has also adjusted the price of visits accordingly, and implemented a low fare strategy.

　　The long-prepared "Xi Yun Dan Qing-The 3rd Ink Painting of Traditional Chinese Opera" was officially opened on June 2 in the East Exhibition Hall. The exhibition brings together the masterpieces of nine artists from north and south. These ink figure paintings of operas "excited the wonderful moments on the stage of the opera" on the stage, with freehand and symbolic representations of the reverberations outside the stage of the opera.

　　West Exhibition Hall's "Looking Back to Classics-National Grand Theatre Original and Production Repertoire Exhibition", and Petal Hall's "Fantastic Blooming Here-National Grand Theatre Art Achievement Exhibition" and other permanent exhibitions, as always, met the audience.

　　During the epidemic, the National Grand Theater renovated and “upgraded” some public spaces, making it more comfortable and convenient for the audience to wander in the art space. For example, the dining area of ​​the West Café has added card seats and long tables. The previous wooden chairs were replaced with leather seats. The humanized design creates an artistic atmosphere to meet people's different needs. Outside the four-story western restaurant, the "Exhibition of Oil Painting Portraits of Chinese and Foreign Musicians Collected by the National Grand Theater" adds an artistic atmosphere to the theater, and audiences can take good photos here by "punching". The art gallery on the east side of the theater is open as usual, so visitors can take away their favorite cultural and creative products after visiting the souvenir shop and record shop.

　　"During the epidemic, I saw some new changes in the theater and some scenes that I hadn't noticed through online concerts. I can't wait to see the live experience and look forward to the first concert." Ms. Shen said.

　　In terms of performance, Zhu Jing introduced that from June 6th, the National Grand Theatre will implement online and offline parallels, and invite some audiences to the theater to participate in online concerts. As the epidemic situation stabilizes and improves, the National Grand Theater will launch offline performances in due course. Specially invited representatives of medical workers, grassroots community representatives and member representatives will come to watch to thank the medical staff and other front-line workers in the fight against the epidemic. Outstanding contribution.
