Founded on Dec. 22nd, 2007, the date was declared as Open Day since 2009 to thank the society and audience for their support. For this year’s Open Day, more than 50 colourful performances and events will be held at the NCPA from 9: 00 a.m. to 16: 30 p.m. Over the past 11 years, the NCPA has presented over 9,600 performances, and welcomed over 10 million ticket-holders. Since its founding, the NCPA has rolled out 87 NCPA productions, making itself as a globally influential art innovator active in co-productions, independent productions and commissions. The NCPA has not only successfully built a range of outreach programmes, such as the Weekend Concert, Classic Arts Lecture and Enter the World of Record, but also formed a chain of art popularization covering the primary school, middle school and university. So far, the NCPA has held nearly 12,000 art popularization activities and performances of all kinds, benefiting nearly 4.8 million people. Also, during the past 11 years, the NCPA has witnessed plenty of cultural exchanges, including visits of officials and organizations, and international competitions, etc.
