On the evening of April 18 and 20, the acrobatic ballet "Swan Lake" created by the Xi'an Warrior Battle Banner Acrobatic Troupe successfully completed two performances at the Royal Opera House in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. During the two days, the theater, which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, was packed with more than 150 applause and 7 curtain calls, allowing Omani audiences to appreciate the unique charm of Chinese acrobatic art.
This is the first time that the Xi'an Warrior Battle Banner Acrobatic Troupe's acrobatic ballet "Swan Lake" has appeared on the stage in Oman. During the two-hour performance, this "Silk Road" version of "Swan Lake", which interprets Western classics with Eastern aesthetics, used its unique fusion artistic language to show the Omani audience the profound foundation of Chinese culture, thus realizing the artistic effect of "each beauty has its own beauty, and the beauty is shared" in Eastern and Western cultures.
Accompanied by the classic music of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", the beautiful and pure white swan leaps leisurely on the prince's shoulder, stands on the prince's shoulder, and then becomes a single foot. After a few seconds of holding the audience's breath, the white swan rotates 180 degrees to the classic ballet action "Arabesque", and then leaps on the prince's head like a real swan, and then completes the lower waist kick on the prince's head. This series of difficult technical skills completed on the shoulders and the top of the head are as silky and elegant as flowing water, as if the white swan is pouring out his heart with the prince. The audience can't hide the excitement, and the audience is boiling in an instant!
The actors focused on their affectionate performances, displaying various emotions such as firmness, tenderness, grief, and joy among the characters in the play. High-level acrobatic skills ran through the story, generating bursts of applause and cheers from the audience.
