Nat’l Folk Song and Dance Ensemble becomes The Grand Theatre
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble has a history of more than seven decades. It is time to walk in line with the other global organizations by having a similar legal status, say professional artists.
When the ensemble is developed into a grand theatre, wider opportunities would open up for artists through promoting many genres of ethnic folklores of Mongolia, exploiting fully repertory and advancing its foreign relations and cooperation.
The proposal was backed by the cabinet on the regular meeting of November 2.
The National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble was established in 1945 with a name “Bureau of Entertainment and Concerts”, with a total of 62 personnel, including 19 singers, 27 musicians and 13 dancers, along with the managers and directors. The organization has been gradually enlarged into a collective with more than 190 personnel.
