Programme
Overview

The large-scale situational symphonic opera "I Love You China" is mainly planned by Xinghai Conservatory of Music and co-produced by Guangzhou Opera House. The play is based on the classic movie "Overseas Children". It revolves around the touching stories of scientists returning to China during the construction of New China, overseas children during the reform and opening up period, and contemporary young students who are nostalgic for their motherland and eager to return home. It vividly reproduces the historical picture of three generations of Chinese people devoting themselves to national rejuvenation and building a strong country. Through classic songs that are familiar to the public, this play evokes the emotional power of infinite praise, love, and nostalgia for the motherland in people's hearts, expresses the Chinese people's concern for the motherland and the common homeland, and shows the sense of responsibility and mission of contemporary youth in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As a modern situational opera, it perfectly integrates various art performance forms such as symphony, singing, drama, and dance, presenting the audience with a stage masterpiece that combines ideology, artistry, and appreciation.
 
The creative team of the play is composed of the most powerful stage creation, performance production and management team of Xinghai Conservatory of Music and well-known experts outside the school. Qu Cong, a military artist of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, a famous lyricist and a national first-class screenwriter, was specially invited to write the lyrics of the play; Xing Shimiao, the former head of the Soldiers' Art Troupe of the Political Department of the Guangzhou Military Region and a national first-class director, was invited to direct the play; Professor Yan Dong, a director of the Composition and Composition Theory Society of the Chinese Musicians Association and the former director of the Composition Department of Xinghai Conservatory of Music, was invited to be the music director, creator and arranger of the play.
 
The cast and crew are mainly teachers, students and some alumni of Xinghai Conservatory of Music. After layers of selection, a group of professors and artists with great influence in the industry will be selected. The leading actors of the drama have won many awards in the industry's top competitions and played important roles in many large-scale repertoires, including Ren Wenwen, Wang Chuanliang, Chen Xiao, Wang Hongyao, Hong Zhenxiang, Feng Guodong, etc. Among them, Hong Zhenxiang won the third place in the vocal group of the "17th Tchaikovsky International Music Competition" and the 14th China Music Golden Bell Award for Vocal (Bel Canto) Golden Bell Award; Wang Chuanliang won the 30th Magnolia Drama Performance Art Award for Newcomer Leading Actor Award and the 11th China Music Golden Bell Award for Vocal (Bel Canto) Golden Bell Award. Liu Yuntian, the winner of the Queen Elizabeth Competition Finals Memorial Award, the second place in the Horowitz International Piano Competition, and the fourth China Music Golden Bell Award for Piano Gold Medal, will co-star.

The play is conducted by Associate Professor Liu Ming, conductor of the Xinghai Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra and permanent conductor of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra. Professor Wei Wei, former director of the Orchestra Department of Xinghai Conservatory of Music and violinist, serves as the leader of the orchestra. Together with a group of outstanding professional teachers, the chamber orchestra, the chorus and dance troupe composed of the school's top talents will perform on the same stage, forming a powerful lineup.
 
This play has been selected for the 2024 Guangdong Province Literary and Art Masterpieces (Literary and Art Talents) Support Special Fund Support Project. As a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it will be premiered at the Guangzhou Grand Theater during the National Day holiday in October, playing the melody of the times for the motherland's birthday and offering a hymn of youth.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
