Every March 27, theatre enthusiasts from around the globe come together to celebrate the vibrant world of performing arts. This year's World Theatre Day shone a light on the invaluable cultural heritage embedded in traditional theatre forms.
On the Chinese mainland, timeless art forms such as Peking Opera, Sichuan Opera, and the renowned Yu and Yue Opera have evolved over centuries into nearly 300 distinct genres. Each genre carries its own unique blend of language, musical style, and narrative, weaving a rich tapestry that connects the past with the present.
The celebrations offered a dynamic platform for young global citizens, business and tech enthusiasts, thought leaders, and creatives to engage in dialogue and cultural exchange. Events and activities around the world underscored how art transcends borders and inspires innovative ideas, reminding us of theatre's enduring power to unite diverse cultures.
