Joining hands to polish the business card of "Shanghai Opera Hometown", Maqiao Town in Minhang and Shanghai Opera House will cooperate to jointly build culture | Shanghai Opera | Shanghai
Recently, Maqiao Town in Minhang District signed a cooperation agreement with Shanghai Shanghai Opera Art Training Institute. In the future, the two sides will use Shanghai opera art as a link to carry out deeper exchanges and cooperation in the inheritance of Shanghai opera and the dissemination of dialect culture, further polishing Maqiao's "hometown of Shanghai opera" business card.
Shanghai opera is a beautiful business card of Shanghai and an important symbol of Shanghai style culture. As the "hometown of Shanghai opera", Maqiao Town has always been committed to inheriting and promoting this traditional form of opera art. As early as 1986, Maqiao united with the Shanghai Shanghai Opera House as the "family in law", and since then, Shanghai opera has been passed down as the "local accent" of Maqiao. In 2009, Shanghai Opera was rated as a district level intangible cultural heritage project in Maqiao Town.

In recent years, Maqiao Town has integrated Shanghai opera and dialect into campus culture, vigorously promoting the integration of intangible cultural heritage into the campus. The annual Shanghai Opera Festival in Maqiao Town, as well as various Shanghai Opera activities such as singing by everyone, cultural daily music, and art lecture halls that run throughout the year, have greatly enriched the spiritual and cultural life of local citizens.
