Overview

Take pictures for history, capture the splendor of the times, and sing for the people.

Zhejiang's port integration continues to advance. Engineer "Gang" from the Technology R&D Department of Ningbo Zhoushan Port received the task of developing a container terminal production operating system with independent intellectual property rights - N-TOS3.0. Test after test, failure after failure... At the critical moment, the story of his father "Hai"'s struggle to build the port made "Hang" raise the sail of faith again!

From the thousand-year-old port to the great eastern port, from the first bone whistle of the primitive ancestors to the whistle of the 10,000-ton ship, the rise of Ningbo Zhoushan Port embodies the strength of the Chinese nation to move toward the ocean, toward openness, and toward the future. The dance drama "Great Port of the East" focuses on the contemporary era, telling the passionate youth and moving past of several generations of great port builders since the reform and opening up, in order to depict a new blueprint for Ningbo, a "modern coastal metropolis" in the new era, to "connect ports to the world". Take photos for history, capture the splendor of the times, and sing for the people!

Taking the construction, development, difficulties and strengthening of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port as the overall background since the reform and opening up, the dance drama "Eastern Port" tells the passionate youth and touching past of a group of port builders. It closely and vividly combines "port, city and people" In the narrative, the struggle history of small people is integrated into the development history of the big era, so as to depict a new blueprint for Ningbo, a "modern coastal metropolis" in the new era, to "connect the port to the world".
The dance drama "Eastern Port" is jointly created by the emerging young choreographers born in the 1980s in China - Wang Sisi and Qian Xin.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
