Whether it's architecture or portraits, every shot is a hit. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out! 📸This time, while taking the little girl to see the public rehearsal of the famous Italian opera 'Tosca', I took her to check in again. 💃🏻For the little girl who loves singing, dancing, and playing the piano, watching an opera is definitely a rare 'master class'. Especially this time, the lineup at the National Centre for the Performing Arts for 'Tosca' is exceptionally strong, with the famous conductor Xu Zhong wielding the baton, Italian soprano Monica Zanettin, Italian baritone Ambrogio Maestri, and renowned soprano singer Sun Xiuwei among other excellent singers forming a powerful and star-studded cast. Coupled with the newly created stunning lighting and stage effects, the live performance was incredibly impactful, with every note captivating the audience, as if they were experiencing a life-and-death farewell with the protagonists, offering a fully immersive experience. 🪄Here's a bonus guide to various photo spots at the National Centre for the Performing Arts for those planning to check in: 1️⃣ Main entrance & pool: A must-have shot at the main entrance, and you can also walk to the side of the pool to capture the reflection of the opera house. 2️⃣ South Gate Small Garden: This spot is also outside the opera house, walk around the pool to the back of the building to see a small garden.
