Since officially opening on December 22, 2007, the NCPA has closely followed its founding principles of "for the people, for the arts, for the world". In six years' time, the NCPA has become the world's grandest and most modern centre for the performing arts, with an impressive art production capacity. While in pursuit of showcasing and leading the direction of China's performing arts, pushing for the cultural communication between China and foreign countries, as well as satisfying the increasing spiritual and cultural needs of the people, the NCPA has found a successful road.
