On the evening of April 28, the Baietan Dawan District Art Center, which attracted countless attention, was officially opened.
At 20 o'clock, the national intangible cultural heritage project Guangdong lion dance performance "Bay Area Dreams with One Heart and Culture Set Sail", which opened the prelude to the opening ceremony of Baietan Dawan District Art Center.
On the big stage of Baietan, on the bank of the Pearl River, a wonderful variety show "Singing in Etan" highlights the new style of this "cultural giant wheel", and is also a dynamic interpretation of the profound heritage of Lingnan culture.
"Singing in the Goose Pond" is mainly based on the outstanding literary and artistic masterpieces in the Greater Bay Area in recent years. From the melodious Cantonese rhyme of Cantonese music, to the inheritance and development of Lingnan opera, from the Chinese customs of the thousand-year-old Maritime Silk Road, to the world feelings of the "Belt and Road", from the majestic epic of classic dance dramas, to the thrilling beauty of difficult acrobatics, from the flowing singing of the long years, to the shocking sound of the new era, it fully demonstrates the cultural and artistic vitality of the Bay Area's harmony, ambition, vigor and talent, and shows the mellow cultural features of the Bay Area. The performance brings together traditional and modern, ethnic and international cultural and artistic elements from all over the Greater Bay Area, and integrates the water-friendly lifting stage into all aspects of the program through various forms such as singing and dancing, opera, music, acrobatics, etc., and integrates with the Baietan Art Center where the three rivers converge.
The dance "Dragon Race" is adapted from the work of Guangdong musician He Liutang, with a passionate melody and inspiring people to forge ahead. On the waves, the dragon boat race, the high-pitched and passionate "Dragon Race" played the indomitable and courageous spirit of the Chinese nation.
The dance "National Style" shows the peaceful, brilliant and colorful scene of the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. In the magnificent music, one is raised, one is thrown. Through the dance of the body, the dancers wave their sleeves like flowing water, and "sleeves" in the way of "dancing sleeves" to create a beautiful dance, showing off China's vast and open national style and prosperous scene.
"Shangchun Mountain", "Run", "No More Hesitation", a series of pop hits were sung one after another. Immediately after that, Revlon uses the dance vocabulary and aesthetic characteristics of classical Chinese dance to depict a picture of the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty young girl.
The scene song and dance "The Style of Our Generation" integrates national musical instruments such as pipa and suona, in the form of "new national style" and rock and roll, with a new and enthusiastic music style and Rap singing with street dance and other performance forms to tell the story of the youth dreaming of "life enthusiasm" in the express delivery industry under the background of the big era, and pay tribute to every hard-working dreamer. Subsequently, the solo singing of "Spring Breeze 100,000 Miles" and "The Blessing of Mountain Song" made the atmosphere more enthusiastic.
When the wind is high, the gulls flap their wings and cut through the sky; the waves are more courageous, and thousands of sails are racing to compete for the current. The "water" element is one of the hallmarks of the Arts Centre, and the dance "Dance of the Sea" presents a beautiful picture of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area working side by side. Singing with the strong wind and dancing with the sea, wanton youth is shining in the dream.
At 21:20, the dazzling drone show began, and a white swan composed of drones took off. In the next 15 minutes, 1,000 drones circled and shuttled in the night sky, constantly changing patterns, leading everyone to appreciate the artistic conception of Etan, and the galaxy was bright with the power of science and technology. The scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers from time to time.
