Ballet, an art form that originated in Italy during the Renaissance in the 15th century, is a dazzling pearl on the world stage. Since its introduction in China in the 1950s, ballet has undergone innovation and exploration, and has initially formed an artistic style with unique charm. Chinese ballet workers have dug deeply into the essence of traditional Chinese culture on the basis of Western ballet, and created many masterpieces that blend Eastern and Western elements. Landmark classics such as "The Red Detachment of Women" and "The White-Haired Girl" combine Chinese stories with Western ballet techniques to present audiences with works that are both full of Chinese characteristics and full of artistic innovation.

Unlike classical ballet, "In the Mood for Love" incorporates various dance elements such as ballet, jazz and folk dance, including colorful and energetic group dances, as well as delicate and implicit duet dances. In addition, the play also uses Shanghai's iconic building Shikumen as the setting, revealing the strong cultural characteristics of old Shanghai. Classic songs of old Shanghai that many audiences are familiar with, such as "Night Shanghai" and "Four Seasons Song", are also subtly integrated into the music. The perfect combination of cheongsam and ballet can be regarded as the biggest highlight of the work. In the swaying dance, the atmosphere of Shanghai's city culture and mixed oceans is set off very lively and lively.

Matthew Byrne is familiar to Chinese audiences with works such as "Male Swan Lake", "Gothic Sleeping Beauty" and "World War II Cinderella". This version of "Romeo and Juliet" has created a plot structure that is completely different from traditional storytelling. "I have returned to Shanghai many times with my work, and I have the most lovely audience here. The Shanghai audience is very interested and enthusiastic about this work, which is a true compliment to the creator. It is this curiosity that perpetuates this fate and makes all encounters possible," Matthew Byrne said.

At the Christmas night banquet, the girl Clara received a Nutcracker from Dr. Dawson Mayer. At night, a strange scene appeared. A group of mice broke into the living room, they scurried everywhere, and began to attack Clara. At a critical moment, the Nutcracker led a group of toy soldiers, commanding the puppet and the mouse army to fight. Clara tactfully assisted, and the Nutcracker took the opportunity to stab the rat king to death with a sword, and the other mice fled. The Nutcracker won. Suddenly, the Nutcracker magically turned into a handsome prince, and to express his gratitude, he was going to take Clara to his "candy kingdom" as a guest. They passed through the snow-covered "snow kingdom", and a group of snow fairies hummed songs and danced snowflakes to accompany them. The Snow Knight and the Snow Queen also performed a beautiful pas de deux, and Clara was fascinated by it.

"Alice in Wonderland" premiered in 2018 and is the award-winning work of Gangba's artistic director Wei Chengtian. It gathers international creators such as Liz Vandal, costume designer of Cirque du Soleil, stage designer James Za, and composer Matthew Pierce. They boldly integrate dance, puppet play and other elements to recreate on stage the classic images of Mr. White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatter and other classic images from Carroll's original story and the wonderful world of imagination. "We hope to present the vibrant side of Hong Kong to mainland audiences through this work," said Li Yixuan, executive director of Gangba. In the 2024/25 dance season, the dance company will celebrate the 45th anniversary of its establishment. "It is very meaningful to be able to perform the new classics of the dance company in a national venue like the National Center for the Performing Arts."

In addition to the new program, Gangba will also perform the "45th Anniversary International Ballet Superstar Festival". A number of international ballet stars and Gangba artists will join hands to present star-studded performances to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the establishment of Gangba. In addition, family-style programs are also eagerly awaited. "The Nutcracker" with the theme of Hong Kong culture returns with fame, and "Ballet Children's Fun Carnival" presents a series of interactive experiences related to "Alice in Wonderland".
