National Ballet of China's bittersweet The Peony Pavilion
A stunning visual spectacle that merges ballet with conceptual art and ancient Chinese Opera.
An impeccable Giselle in Beijing
Unlike some contemporary Giselle being performed in the West, National Ballet of China’s version harks back to the delicacy and romance of the 1841 original. The choreography performed at Beijing’s NCPA last Friday was strikingly beautiful, wonderfully capturing the profound emotion of the piece.
