From the end of April to the end of September this year, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, will hold a boutique drama season featuring over 50 outstanding domestic and foreign plays and more than 100 performances, including the original French musical "Notre Dame de Paris", symphonic play "Romeo and Juliet", dance drama "Heavenly Craftsmanship", and play "Broken Gold". Compared to last year, the number of excellent plays in this year's "Ningbo has a good show" boutique drama season has doubled. Among them, international original plays account for nearly 20% (some plays are yet to be officially announced), setting a new historical high. To boost the 'performance economy', local departments will distribute theater consumption subsidies totaling over 1.2 million yuan through a linkage model of 'drama performance consumption vouchers+cultural tourism packages'. The 2025 Ningbo Fine Drama Season covers a variety of art categories, such as drama, dance drama, musical theater, opera, symphony concerts, concerts, talk shows, etc. It is divided into six characteristic sections: "Artistic Trend Surge", "Famous Artists Gathering", "Elegance and Inheritance", "Sound in Ear", "Childhood Dreams Soaring", and "Joyful Charm Flowing". For example, "Art Wave Surge" focuses on domestic and international classics, and the French original musical "Notre Dame Cathedral", which will be performed for four days and five shows in Ningbo from April 24th to 27th, will be the opening act of the entire drama season. The "Gathering of Famous Masters" focuses on the works of famous masters. Among them, the Cantonese version of the absurd comedy "Donkey in Water" starring Zhu Yin and Luo Jiaying, the stage play "Taibai Jinxing is a bit annoyed" starring Zu Feng, and the play "Warm Taste" starring Liu Haoran and Jin Dong are all highly anticipated.
