On April 5, Xi\'an\'s Lintong District buzzed with excitement as culture enthusiasts gathered at the majestic Qinhuang Grand Theatre for the immersive stage drama "Qin Yongqing". Nestled just east of the Terracotta Army Museum, the theatre\'s design—featuring an exterior inspired by ancient bronze armor—sets the perfect backdrop where history meets cutting-edge technology.
The production unfolds in five sweeping acts: Army Revival, Strategies of Statecraft, Troop Mobilization, Journey Through Time, and Universal Harmony.

Helmed by an international team led by top domestic artists Sha Xiaolan and Zhao Ming, alongside German composer Klaus Badelt, "Qin Yongqing" employs innovative sound, light, and digital effects.
