摘要：On the evening of September 16th, the opening ceremony of the 5th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Fest

On the evening of September 16th, the opening ceremony of the 5th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival is held at the Guangzhou Opera House. Running until October 16th, the Festival will present over 100 high-quality performances, 19 art exhibitions, more than 150 public welfare performances and a series of art lectures, presenting a cultural and artistic feast for people in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to enjoy.

The Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia made its debut in Shenzhen, staging the plays "Eugene Onegin" and "Uncle Vanya" at the Bay Opera of Shenzhen; Matthew Bourne's "Swan Lake" returned to Guangzhou after a wait of six years and presented five consecutive shows at the Guangzhou Opera House; the Greek National Opera made its first appearance in the GBA with a performance of the classic opera La Traviata in Shenzhen. At this year's festival, residents of the GBA can enjoy these high-caliber performances from abroad "on their doorstep."

The GBA is both a key engine of China's economic development and a frontier for cultural exchange. Its economic prosperity provides a material foundation for bringing in high-caliber performances. According to data from the Guangdong Performance Industry Association, Guangdong province alone held 546 large-scale commercial performancesin 2024, and box office revenue reached 3.734 billionyuan, both figures ranking first nationwide.

"More than just a showcase platform, the festival profoundly 'gives back' and nourishes the local cultural and artistic ecosystem," said Huang Qian. The festival builds platforms for exchange, catalyzes artistic innovation and cooperation, expands market space, and helps local works to "go out"and "bring in."

大湾区又掀文艺新风潮

9月16日晚，第五届粤港澳大湾区文化艺术节开幕式在广州大剧院举行。至10月16日，第五届粤港澳大湾区文化艺术节（以下简称“文化艺术节”）将举办超100场精品演出、19场艺术展览、150余场公益演出及系列艺术讲堂，为大湾区民众献上一场全民共享的文化艺术盛宴。

俄罗斯瓦赫坦戈夫剧院首次到访深圳，在深圳滨海艺术中心相继上演话剧《叶甫盖尼·奥涅金》《万尼亚舅舅》；马修·伯恩版芭蕾舞剧《天鹅湖》时隔6年再临广州，在广州大剧院连演5场；希腊国家歌剧院首访大湾区，在深圳献演经典歌剧《茶花女》……本届文化艺术节，大湾区民众在“家门口”便能欣赏到这些来自国外的高水平演出。

粤港澳大湾区是中国经济发展的重要引擎和文化交流的前沿地带，经济繁荣为高水平演出的引入奠定了物质基础。据广东省演出行业协会数据显示，2024年，仅广东省大型营业性演出场次就达到546场，票房收入37.34亿元，两项数据均排名全国第一。

“大湾区文化艺术节不仅是一个展示平台，更深刻地‘反哺’和滋养着本地的文化艺术生态。”黄倩表示，大湾区文化艺术节搭建交流平台，催化艺术创新与合作，拓展市场空间，助力文艺作品“走出去”与“引进来”。
