The first rehearsal for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala of China Media Group was held on Saturday. Various performances, innovative technological applications, and visual design elements were seamlessly integrated, ensuring a smooth flow throughout the event.
This year's gala, themed "The Steed Gallops, Momentum Unstoppable", maintains the core tone of "Joy and Auspiciousness, Full of Festivity". With cultural nourishment and technological empowerment, it aims to present a vibrant, thriving atmosphere that reflects the new era's dynamic progress.
The gala draws on China's traditional culture, incorporating the horse, a symbol of self-improvement and striving forward, into its creative design. Adhering to the concept of "Thought + Art + Technology" in integrated communication, it continues to expand the boundaries of artistic expression. In terms of stage design, advanced technologies such as AI, are used flexibly to create an immersive, three-dimensional visual effect that makes the audience feel they are part of the scene, with the environment moving with the performers.
Art installations inspired by horse patterns shape the stage, symbolizing a galloping herd. Original songs with lively rhythms convey the emotions of spirited horses, while traditional opera performances innovate with a "horse dance" that highlights dynamic, graceful movements.
The gala is a further upgrade of the "Technology + Art" combination, enhancing people's imaginations and creating a festive atmosphere. After intelligent robots performed the traditional yangko dance at last year's gala, which became a sensation, robots will again take the stage this year, showcasing creative technology with a fresh, futuristic flair and highlighting China's technological advances.
