Chen Zuohuang ( National Theatre artistic director famous conductor )
The National Grand Theater of opening why choose concert form?
Chen Zuohuang: National Theatre is a concert hall, opera house and theater three venues, in September of this year, in opera and drama are conducted auditions, and this time the National Grand Theater of the official opening, followed the general big international theater opening practice, staged three concerts, National Grand Theater Concert Hall first opened to the public. The opening concert of the" Gala Concert" form, not only that the celebration, also said that all the programs are relatively short, a carnival, Carnival atmosphere. Theatre built to enable Chinese and foreign artists to look forward to for a long time things, however this kind of look forward to of deep cut no one better than our Chinese artist, everybody thinks that China is in need of such a performance art and foreign art and a platform for the exchange, so we consider repeatedly, decided to take the first chance reserved for our own Chinese artists.
You are most concerned about is the theatre in the which part?
Chen Zuohuang: theatre primary purpose is for the audience service, from the management point of view, the audience opinion is the most important. A theater to truly play its best effect, may need to be operated for several years. As the art director, I contact more likely not the audience, but a lot of artists, actors, band members, their facilities use is convenient, satisfied, the artistic creation of stimuli and help ... ... These are my care more about. The quality of programs is ultimately show participants to present to the audience. Artists in the performance of the process, their auditory experience to show emotions have a great influence on. I care about the whole theatre sound. The sound quality is an objective, subjective evaluation, it has no absolute standard.
Up to now, the opening season preparatory state how?
Chen Zuohuang: for the inaugural season scheduled performances, we are devoted to, and by many Chinese artists and famous artists support and help,. It is precisely because everyone's help, will enable us in such a short period of time to arrange this opening music season. In foreign countries, such as level of theatre, such large inaugural season, such programs and such a high artistic standard, spent two years preparing a bit too much, but we only spent half the time, this also may be the pace of development in China and other countries in different embodiments.
In the program of the choice and the artist 's choice, Grand Theatre has what kind of principles and standards?
Chen Zuohuang: the National Grand Theater of function is required it to become both the country's top performing arts hall, but also for the Chinese and foreign art exchanges the best platform, from this view, we will show the proportion of Chinese and foreign works into 2 : 1. Now, all the Chinese artists to enter the National Grand Theater, to show their artistic talents as a high honor, the National Grand Theater are also willing to countries in the world of outstanding artists a stage, we have this mind to accommodate different art categories. The center is a theater audience, for their sake, we have to make the rich and colorful programs, but we hope to be able to choose a high quality program audience.
As the theatre 's artistic director, what do you think of the National Grand Theater of economic benefits and level of art and the relationship between?
Chen Zuohuang: I always feel grand theatre building on the completion is a great thing, but the operation and management of contrast, is more difficult. Economic effect does not seem to be a art director field should have issue, but has been lingering in my mind mind. The National Grand Theater is spent a lot of money to cover it up, it by the end of the play what role? In the programming process, I still can not forget the thing is: This is the use of taxpayer money to cover up the Grand Theater, it shall be the taxpayer service. So we are up and down have always worked in, we want to let people feel it is their home of culture, art house, they can spend very little money to no money into the theater to enjoy them shall enjoy the art treasures. If we fail to do this, the National Grand Theatre also can't be called a successful theatre.
After the completion of the National Theatre is now the world's largest Kennedy art center twice, tell from dimensions, inside the near future without a National Center for the performing arts to exceed the Chinese National Grand Theatre building area, but does not explain a theatre of all, from the acoustic conditions, from the management perspective, from the mode of operation, the National Grand Theater is zero, we still the youngest brother, will make the Chinese National Grand Theatre worthy of its construction area, its style, can be in in the world famous Grand Theater occupy a space for one person, we also need to all managers, operators, even artists, audiences joint effort.
Deng Yijiang ( National Theatre vice president )
The National Theatre 's inaugural season what differs from the general characteristics of the season?
Deng Yijiang: from December 22, 2007 April 6, 2008, in the last three and a half months more than 100 days, the National Grand Theater will consist of 78 plays, 180 performances. National Grand Theater by the construction stage to the management level, the international season is introduced into the management of the National Grand Theater stage after the first step. Inaugural season is the international practice, but our season is has some characteristics, first, time span is relatively long, new year's day, Spring Festival across China and some important festivals. Second, performing density is relatively large, 78 sets of 180 performances, almost every day, don't stop. In third, the lineup is also relatively strong performance, the famous at home and abroad / will appear on the inaugural season. Show, we are all that is required to fine art. These characteristics despite for managers is to have certain difficulty, but he will get into the theatre audience a feast for the eyes.
In September the official opening of auditions to now have a few months time, auditions were found in the problem solves how now?
Deng Yijiang: through the audition, we found more than 200 details need to debug, many of which are in service on the need to improve. For example, the indicating lamp seat theater guide identifies issues such as. In the last few months, we have been efforts, both to make the details with the architectural style, but also let the audience feel very convenient. We hope to make great theater service quality to achieve five Star Hotel standard, at the same time, but also in the arts and to introduce fine, really get the majority of the audience and experts unanimously satisfaction.
The National Grand Theater is located in public in nature, but there are so many plays and audience are willing to enter the Grand Theater National Grand Theater, then, will gradually became a nonprofit organization?
Deng Yijiang: state of Beijing municipal Party committee, city hall will be the National Grand Theater as public institutions, require us to put social benefit first, not to profit as the main purpose. We have always told myself, first, we do not look at scene, and is not rich will be able to enter the Grand Theatre, National Theatre represents the highest national performing arts hall. Second, we do not serve a small number of people, not to become a minority art salon, but to let the masses to come. So we the public welfare and social benefit must be the first.
National Grand Theater made very early peoples of this slogan, the point in the operation in the process of how to embody?
Deng Yijiang: our people first is reflected in the price, from thirty yuan to one thousand yuan ticket for standing room tickets are covered by VIP. Not for profit purposes, is not considered theatre operating costs, this is a rule of the market, or the theatre would not exist. Many productions are introduced to a large number of inputs, we operate in relatively cost recovery situations, not for profit purposes. The fare is now divided into six gears. High grade and low grade two, most of the price or in the mid-range price. The National Grand Theater of the people except in the fare to reflect, and responsibility through the organization of the programme, in the Chinese culture and arts development trend role in adding fuel to the flames, to assume the lead role. On the art education, public performances, lectures, interviews, rehearsal, master public space stage, let masses and artist zero distance contact, can really achieve the purpose of art education popularization.
Postscript:
The State Theatre is enabled formally is several generations of Chinese writers and artists, performing artists, will, in the first season of the grand opening time, a lot of Chinese top artists together to perform further established the theatre as a National Center for the Performing Arts positioning. In the subsequent international inaugural season, we will have the pleasure of seeing Seiji Ozawa, Matsu you a number of world-class masters and world famous groups into the theatre, truly embodies the Chinese National Grand Theater of international standards of art.
