On May 14, the One Belt And One Road forum for international cooperation opened, and the millennium covenant, a variety show welcoming guests from various countries, was staged at the national grand theatre.The Millennium Covenant is a performance with a major mission of international exchange. It represents the highest artistic standard of contemporary China and reflects the sense of national honor.

    From dunhuang flying apsaras in the tang Dynasty to Zheng He's sailing on the Western Seas, it is necessary to spread the time and space of a thousand years on a stage, and to interweave the cultural essence of the East and the west in a theater.This is a great challenge for stage artists.Let's take a look at the creative ideas of Gao Guangjian, the stage design director of the National Center for the Performing Arts, through the exquisite design drawings and stills.

    For example, in the opening song and dance "The Millennium Promise", the dancers presented the performance of the song and dance in the flourishing age of Tang Dynasty. The beautiful frescoes such as the Thousand Buddha Cave in Dunhuang were visually restored, and the virtual flying dancers were presented in the center of the stage facade setting with holographic projection technology.Hundreds of dancers with high-tech video, for the audience presented a magnificent scene of Dunhuang.

    Stage designers need to have deep artistic pursuit, innovative inspiration, and more importantly, to ensure the safety and reliability of live performances and live TV broadcast, to achieve zero errors.
