En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Guo Wenjing

A globally-connected journey of exoticism: Yu Long delivers with Scheherazade.

A stunning visual spectacle that merges ballet with conceptual art and ancient Chinese Opera.

Mixed feelings at the Lincoln Center, where the National Ballet of China performs The Peony Pavillon.

A mélange of documentary, Chinese opera and contemporary music does not really bind into a solid whole, but Sichuan opera star Shen Tiemei’s performance is complete musical theatre.

The chamber-opera Feng Yi Ting is a high-grade hybrid. The composer/librettist is Chinese, the director is Armenian-Canadian, and both are outstanding in their fields. Guo Wenjing belongs to the elite 200 students admitted to Beijing’s Central Conservatory in 1978 when it reopened after the Cultural Revolution.

Mention Beijing in London at the moment and some allusion to opening ceremonies, sports or medals will undoubtedly follow (with an optional grumble about the transport system tagged on the end).
