NATIONAL BALLET OF CHINA

For the first time on our stage, direct from the 2015 Lincoln Center Festival, China’s national ballet fuses classic western ballet with traditional Chinese dance, creating a style of ballet that is uniquely their own.

Their program will juxtapose the familiar, including excerpts from Act III of Don Quixote and Act II of Giselle, with works that encapsulate the Chinese spirit and experience, including the contemporary works Guangling Verse and Close Your Eyes When It Is Getting Dark, as well as selections from two of their signature ballets: Yellow River and The Red Detachment of Women.
