Lanzhou Evening News reports that if you can only watch one ballet in your life, you must choose "Swan Lake". When the classic love story is expressed in ballet language, it is more poetic. On May 16, the reporter learned that a young Russian dance company led by artist Mikhail Mikhailov will stage the classic ballet "Swan Lake" at 19:30 on June 2 at the Yellow River Theater.

"This is a project that we have been paying attention to four years ago. Looking at the stills of'Chanel Legend ', Svetlana Zakharova is completely Chanel's original fragrance.' Pointe Love Strings' couples share the same stage, and the sugar content is off the charts." Zhang Xiaoding, general manager of the Shanghai Grand Theatre, said at a media conference on the 14th. From May 15th to 19th, the world's top ballet dancer Svetlana Zakharova will join hands with the chief dancer of the Moscow Grand Theater to take the stage at the Shanghai Grand Theater, bringing the double one-act dance "Chanel Legend" and "Pointe Love Strings", which combines music and dance, to open the first stop of this tour in the Chinese mainland.

As an international first-class art troupe, the Central Ballet has a strict and rigorous actor promotion system. The assessment is held once a year, and each assessment is a "major event" for any actor in the troupe in their career. Zhongba is the first troupe in China to publicly display the actor assessment. In 2012, under the initiative of Captain Feng Ying, a novel form of audience participation and interaction with the theme of "Chasing Dreams" was created, aiming to allow actors to build dreams and realize dreams on this platform, and open the door to the audience for everyone to witness this dream moment together. Since 2023, Zhongba has led the audience to watch the actors' "Chasing Dreams" in front of and behind the stage for the first time in the form of live broadcast.

According to the introduction, "Return of Honglingyan" is another dance drama funded by the National Arts Fund by Chongqing Ballet after "In Search of Shangri-La" and "Stagnant Water". It took 4 years from brewing, incubation, creation and final presentation. The dance drama gathers first-line outstanding forces in the industry and experts in various fields: Liu Jun, national first-class director, head of Chongqing Ballet and artistic director, playwright and national first-class screenwriter Yu Rongjun, national first-class choreography design Zhang Jiwen, composer and head of the Department of Music and Drama of Shanghai Conservatory of Music An Dong, former principal of the British National Ballet School and choreographer of the Royal Academy of Music in Madrid, Spain Carlos Varcassel, etc.

"Ballet and Kunqu Opera have different techniques, but they pursue the same passionate emotions. Chinese and French actors are far away, but their goals are very similar. They are all comprehensive skills and touching sincerity." Emmanuel Ondrey, director of the Bordeaux National Opera, said that this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The exchange between the National Opera Ballet of Bordeaux and the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Company is not only interaction and learning, but also the integration of hearts and the collision of ideas. "Through mutual learning and enlightenment, the two cultures have established a solid bridge, narrowing the distance between people and deepening friendship." "When I was a child, I watched'Swan Lake 'on TV, and I first got to know ballet. Both Kunqu Opera and ballet start with rigorous physical training." During the two-hour exchange, Tan Xuya, a young actor from the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, introduced the French dancers to Kunqu Opera's historical origins, contemporary development and unique artistic characteristics. The French artist looked closely at the stills and did not forget to ask: "Do Chinese Kunqu Opera performances use microphones?" Tan Xuya replied: "It depends on the situation. For example, when we perform in a small theater on the second floor, the actors do not use microphones, like opera."
