On August 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m., the National Ballet of China will bring Ballet Gala to the Opera House of National Centre for the Performing Arts of China. It will be the first performance for limited ticket sales to the public at the National Centre for the Performing Arts of China Opera House since the epidemic.

Responding to the audience's eager anticipation for live performance, the artists of National Ballet of China elaborately planned and rehearsed this spectacular Ballet Gala. The performance includes not only excerpts from Pas De Quatre, Cinderella Act II, the romantic ballet La Sylphide Act II, but also excerpt from Changqing Showing the Way, Scene I of the classic Chines ballet The Red Detachment of Women. In addition, Against the Wind, the National Ballet of China original symphonic ballet, will have its grand premiere on the stage of this special Ballet Gala!

Against the Wind-- A tribute to the bravest frontline medical workers

In early February 2020, the original song of National Ballet of China Because of You, a tribute to the heroes in the fight against the epidemic, was received a lot of appreciation and feedback from the audience after its launch, especially from the frontline medical workers, which greatly boosted the creative enthusiasm and confidence of National Ballet of China. Therefore, the company quickly set up a new plan to create this original symphonic ballet work Against the Wind based on the literary concept and musical melody of the original song Because of You.

With the classic ballet, the romantic ballet, the Chinese ballet and the premiere of an original new work, let's pay tribute to life on August 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Opera House of National Centre for the Performing Arts of China!
