Of particular interest is that this performance in Hangzhou is the first cooperation of National Ballet of China Symphony Orchestra and Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, also a fruitful attempt and exploration in the active friendly cooperation and artistic exchange between NBC as a national art troupe and local theater. Under the baton of Liu Ju, the Resident Conductor of National Ballet of China Symphony Orchestra, the familiar melodies played by the Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra were well combined with the artists' passionate interpretation, which became a highlight of the whole performance.
