The National Center for the Performing Arts held on Dec 22 a 12-hour "Online Arts Festival", marking the venue's 13th birthday.

Featuring a wide range of performances, such as singing, dancing, drama and opera, the online programs included numerous highlights, such as NCPA drama productions A Doll's House, Crossroads and The Count of Monte Cristo, the National Ballet of China's original ballet Flying Against the Wind, and excerpts from Peking Opera shows as well as popular opera films, such as NCPA's opera production The Dawns Here Are Quiet.

According to the vice-president of the NCPA, audiences are invited to enjoy free shows at the NCPA on its birthday every year. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, programs for the celebration of the 13th birthday of NCPA were moved online for the first time.
