Dance dramas set to dazzle in Jiading

( chinadaily.com.cn ) 2019-08-06

Two dance dramas will be held at Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre in Shanghai's Jiading district in October, and two famous dancers – Yang Liping and Li Yugang – will offer up a pair of spectacular performances for audiences.

The Rite of Spring was written by Igor Fedorovitch Stravinsky more than 100 years ago, originally as a ballet, and it has attracted numerous top dancers throughout the century. A new version of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring by Chinese choreographer Yang Liping will give audiences a fresh perspective on the classic.

Another poetic song and dance drama entitled Lady Zhaojun, starring Li Yugang, follows the life of Wang Zhaojun, an ancient Chinese beauty from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) who volunteered to marry the leader of the Huns, a powerful tribal nomadic group.
