NCPA Resident Singers

国家大剧院歌剧演员队

Founded in October 2011, the NCPA Resident Singers have established themselves as an essential pillar of opera at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) and across the country, bringing together exceptional vocal talents from China and beyond. Over the past decade, they have honed their craft with unwavering dedication. Driven by a deep passion for opera and a profound respect for the stage, they have risen to the forefront of the operatic field as one of the most accomplished and representative ensembles in China today.

The NCPA Resident Singers have been at the heart of over 70 NCPA productions—from original Chinese works to international classics—showcasing their artistry on stages both at home and abroad alongside some of the world’s finest artists. They have also become one of the most extensively and deeply engaged opera ensembles in China, working with world-class conductors, directors, singers, stage artists, and renowned theatres and arts institutions, and are among the few nationwide to have embraced an internationally oriented, professionally managed operating model.

United by a relentless pursuit of artistic excellence and an enterprising spirit, they have performed in Italian, French, German, Russian, Czech, and other languages, presenting many works on the Chinese stage for the first time—Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose), Wagner’s Lohengrinand Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra, Puccini’s La fanciulla del West, Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri, and Dvořák’s Rusalka. In co-productions with internationally acclaimed theatres, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, the Mariinsky Theatre, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, and the Polish National Opera, the NCPA Resident Singers have earned high praise from their international peers—a testament to the strength of Chinese operas on the world stage.

Staying true to their mission and original aspiration, they give voice to Chinese stories song, championing original Chinese works and upholding the spirit of Chinese culture. They have taken leading roles in every NCPA opera commission, including The Long March, Rickshaw Boy, FANG Zhimin, and The Dawns Here Are Quiet. Tours of these Chinese operas have also taken them to Turin, Milan, Genoa, Florence, Parma, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, Ürümqi, Hotan, and among other cities.

The NCPA Resident Singers have lived up to their responsibilities, participating in numerous national-level artistic performances and international cultural exchange events, honouring their commitment to the nation’s cultural and historic mission in the new era. They shone at multiple major national events: The Eternal Promiseat the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation Gala; Strive, Sons and Daughters of China, the Gala Celebrating the 70thAnniversary of the Founding of the PRC; and The Great Journey, the Gala Celebrating the 100thAnniversary of the Founding of the CPC.

In addition to their operatic performances, they have also dedicated themselves to creating a diverse range of themed concerts, interpreting classic operatic repertoire through concert formats while exploring new possibilities for the broader dissemination of opera. Through performances, lectures, and other engagement activities, they connected with audiences beyond the opera house, reaching schools, communities, and workplaces across the country. Singing for the people, they have become a vital link in the “drip irrigation” initiative, making high-quality art more accessible and nurturing a broader audience for Chinese operas.

Unfaltering in voice, unyielding in duty, the NCPA Resident Singers stand as a living embodiment of the NCPA’s guiding principle—For the People, For the Art, and For the World. Grounded in the values of leadership, heritage, innovation, openness, and inclusivity, and drawing from the cultural spirit of the capital and the rich tapestry of Chinese tradition, they bring opera to the nation and engage the world through the universal language of art.
