As the spread of culture and arts, and cultural rights of the people to achieve common cultural buildings - theaters, cultural renaissance in today is very important. October 12, one of the "ten Arts Festival" important part "of the first theater building and integrated operators Summit" held in the provincial capital of the Grand Theatre. Forum, Shanghai Grand Theatre Center for the Arts president Chang, theater construction management consulting expert Duncan M.Webb, construction and operation of the theater expert Adam Shalleck, Marc Routh, president of the Asian American Broadway, as well as Thai culture Shenzhen Zhongfu Building Construction Corporation Directors long Tan Zebin keynote speeches and other industry insiders, depth theater construction and operation management.


Theater building " community-based "
Zhongfu Thai chairman谭泽斌in the forum , said the big theaters, concert halls as the representative of the performing arts building is the highest technical difficulty building. How to build the theater very challenging , one theater how to locate , and second, what type of theater audiences , who will manage the theater three is what we want to spread the cultural connotations are, and how theater developed into the city's brand .

Not long ago, Tan Zebin Zhongfu Thailand led a team of experts to visit the North American theater visits, he said , the U.S. theater building to adopt a " battle group " mode, every seat theater that will build around a lot of professional small theater , a small theater can be as large Theatre offers a rich cultural and artistic resources, and the Grand Theatre are those with their own brand of arts and culture radiate outward , to enhance the cultural influence, both fused to form a healthy and efficient and sustainable development of the theater environment. For example , the San Francisco Conservatory of Music is not only a large concert hall , surrounding college also supporting a number of small concert hall , the small concert hall music can provide both products and services , such as making records , but also as a public service establishments around the community , such as students when graduation ceremony can be held here . This small theater built into the community model , truly a cultural transmission "From dolls to start ." In addition , the United States Grand Theatre , a small theater often held academic exchanges , exchange creative repertoire , group meetings and other activities, this bottom-up construction and operation theater mode greatly enhance the spread of U.S. cultural products .

Tanze Bin believes that the construction of the performing arts building must be according to the laws , the function of theater systems, transportation management systems, and marketing resources to make scientific planning, then the principle of intensive construction . He suggested that China may try to small theaters , community development, the general direction of the government to control such investment direction and stick to broad principles , such as the dissemination of culture and values , while others promote the development of the industry by the operation of the market , it was possible to form theater benign ecological health and sustainable development.

Formulate policies conducive to the development of the theater
In the past nearly 20 years , China has begun construction of a large-scale theater . But after so many theater built, subsequent operations management face many problems. Chang said in the forum , the first is how the tube , who tubes, followed by what is played . Because of these two issues have long plagued the Grand Theatre building investors , so there are two types of management. The first one is hosting, ask a professional hosting company . There is also a self-management , such as the National Grand Theatre and Shanghai Grand Theatre.


  Chang believes that the current market, there are two major performing arts is a serious problem , one of which is the market is unfair , and the second is the market is not established , resulting in the performing arts market in the development of deformity . To solve these problems, we must first improve the maturity of the performing arts market , and secondly, to train the audience to see a good repertoire of cultural consumption habits.

In developed countries, especially in Europe, are clearly divided in nature , theater , one is for-profit theater , one is a non-profit theaters , such as more than 40 Broadway theaters are for-profit theater , although the production of musicals the United States has a lot of support for the policy , but from the perspective of industry support for industrial development , for the theater itself and no more preferential policies.

In our country, how government support for nonprofit theaters and operating theaters, Chang believes , first, to adjust tax policies performances nonprofit organization , and the second , to formulate a reasonable cost . Now , our theater is basically not identified or non- welfare nonprofit , and therefore can not be like the Grand Theatre galleries, museums and enjoy the same preferential tariffs . Chang said that the Shanghai Art Museum is a nonprofit facility in accordance with the standard pay the electric bill , and Shanghai Grand Theatre is in accordance with the standards of large commercial enterprises , more than 700 million annual cost of electricity for the theater is not a small number.

" China Top Ten Theatre " baked
On the Summit , is remarkable , " China Top Ten Theatre " was born. Selection lasted more than a year , the national theater building experts and professional technical staff review panel , taking into account the results of online voting , to our larger , better operational hundred seat theater , the building acoustics , functionality aspects of rationality, level design , construction quality, equipment levels , professional theater experience , a comprehensive assessment of operational effects .

Meanwhile, in the selection of the top ten Chinese Theater , the Guangzhou Opera House , the Dalian International Conference Centre Grand Theatre , Dongguan Yulan Theatre "Best Sound Theater " individual awards , the National Grand Theater , Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Capital Theatre was " the most good operating theater " individual awards .

The " China Top Ten Theatre " contest can be said that the status quo of China 's first comprehensive Festival Theatre . China's construction sector and the sound authoritative academic academician Wu Shuo Yin said , because of our past , including architectural acoustics , including Building Science insufficient attention , resulting in poor quality of many buildings function , lack of scientific and technological content , sound, light, heat and other building physical environment weak, resulting in a great waste of resources and energy . The poll is a crucial period in the history of the development of the theater building , is widely recognized that the construction of the theater building is different from the other buildings , and the construction and operation theater upgraded to vote conducted by the height of the Cultural Strategy .
