Spain’s Royal Theatre and China’s National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) have signed an agreement on exchange of audiovisual materials through an online platform. The agreement will allow consumers to view materials on demand.
“The NCPA will offer one opera and four concerts live, as well as five documentaries to present them on the platform. With the launch of this project, viewers from several countries will be able to view them on the Internet,” said Wang Ning, the president of the NCPA.
Wang Ning also said the agreement was positive for both institutions because “culture is connected”. “We are going to present the classical operas of the world to the Chinese audience, and we also want to introduce some Chinese operas to the world to help the exchange between different cultures. It doesn’t matter if it is from the East or the West. Art has a common character,” he added.
The Royal Theatre, which opened in 1850, is now considered to be the most important centre for classical music, opera and ballet in Spain. The agreement is another step towards greater collaboration between the two institutions which have enjoyed a close relationship for several years. He said the relationship between the Royal Theatre and China had received an important boost following the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan to the theatre on 28 November 2018 during their official visit to Spain.
“We are working to take flamenco (弗拉明科舞) to China, to carry out joint university projects and exchange activities so our respective people can see how each other works,” he explained.
