Recently, "Art Up" has increased the online supply of cultural and artistic content, and major theaters, exhibition halls and main literary and art academies in Shanghai have launched a number of high-quality performing arts activities. Among them, the Jiukeshu (Shanghai) Future Art Center, a cultural landmark in Fengxian New Town, has launched an online live broadcast program "Art Up and Forward : Monday Non-stop Performance Series" from March 28, which will continue until the theater reopens. The content includes literary and artistic festivals where famous artists from different artistic fields gather, selected classic plays sung by powerful musical theater actors, and classical concerts performed by young musicians.
Jiukeshu (Shanghai) Future Art Center began official operations in October 2019 and soon encountered the impact of the epidemic. Under the test, Nine Trees hatched the "Monday Musical" concert live column, bringing online performances on the theater's customary "Off Day" Monday. After 2 years of exploration and growth, in the face of this round of epidemic, the theater began to prepare at the beginning of the suspension, using art to heal people's hearts in special periods, and enriching people's spiritual and cultural life when fighting the epidemic at home.
At present, the special return of the pure enjoyment version of the musical "Art Up and Forward , Monday Without Stopping" has been fully broadcast, and excerpts from the "Phantom of the Theater", "Mamma Mia", "Murder Ballad" and other plays have been burned and welcomed by the audience. The "Masters of the Future" series has now been launched one after another: there are concerts between the world's award-winning "00" young conductors and the neoclassical chamber orchestra, there are piano, violin, double bass, accordion, cello and other forms of tacit cooperation, there are also piano solos with interesting explanations.
Nine Trees " 100 People and 100 Future Masters" series of concerts provides a stage for a group of music students with excellent professional achievements and domestic and foreign awards to show their talents and realize their dreams, helping them grow into "future masters". So far, 21 concerts are almost hard to come by, providing a chance for the public audience to gain an in-depth understanding of classical music.
In addition, a number of large-scale festivals with artistic height and cultural standards will also return to the scene one after another. Xi Meijuan, a national first-class actor, recited affectionate poems with famous actor Hao Ping; Liao Changyong, president and professor of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, sang classic art songs; master tang Muhai conducted the Nine Trees International Philharmonic Orchestra, which performed world famous songs together with singer Huang Ying, violinist Ning Feng, pianist Tang Beihua, singer Shadow and other artists; as well as singer Wang Qi, who had appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Hai lai Amu, a powerful music singer-songwriter, Chen Liang, a well-known burlesque actor and host in Shanghai, and Pan Qianwei also performed.
No matter how the external situation changes, high-quality performing arts content is always the core competitiveness of the theater. In the days when the curtain fell, Nine Trees continued to carry out the "Art Up And Forward : Monday Non-stop Performance Series Return" column before the resumption, and was also actively preparing for future performances.
"Nine Trees Spring Music Season" will be the mid-festival of the 38th Shanghai Spring International Music Festival, allowing the audience and music fans to spend the spring day full of fun. The newly hatched immersive interactive parent-child meal show will create an emerging parent-child play resort through the style of cross-border national tide. The concept of "Z SPACE" theater covers three series of "land of suspense", "land of XR" and "land of dancing", including suspense dramas such as "Abyss" and "Labyrinth of Hearts"; blockbuster plays such as dance dramas "Confucius" and "Du Fu" have been on the pending list. In addition, relying on the unique advantages of the ecological theater, Nine Trees has continuously upgraded and planned outdoor cultural and entertainment activities such as "Summer Night Galaxy Dream Making Project", "Good Luck Market", "Nine Trees Pop Music Blind Box" and "Open-air Movie".
In the future, Nine Trees will make every effort to create an all-weather non-closing artistic atmosphere, as well as a new consumption scene that integrates catering, culture, cultural creation, leisure and other formats, and through the innovative XR Technology Theater linkage online and offline, refreshing the audience's imagination of the future theater.
