HAVANA, April 19 (Xinhua) -- Cuba's National Ballet (BNC), directed by the legendary1 dancer and choreographer2 Alicia Alonso, will perform in three Chinese cities in late April and early May, Cuban official media reported Thursday.
From April 28 to May 4, the BNC is scheduled to perform in Chinese capital Beijing, commercial hub Shanghai and southern city of Guangzhou, presenting its
interpretation3 of Tchaikovsky's classic ballet "Swan Lake," with choreography by Alonso based on the original by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, the Cuban National Information Agency said.
Featured dancers include Anette Delgado, Viengsay Valdes, Sadaise Arencibia, Danni Hernandez, Osiel Gounod, Yanier Gomez, Arian Molina and Victor Estevez, with
soloists4 and the ballet
corps5.
As a top attraction at the Beijing Arts Festival, the Cuban ballet company will open the cultural festival with the first of four functions of "Swan Lake," before travelling to Shanghai and finishing its tour in Guangzhou.
Alonso said she was pleased to be performing at the festival because "the Chinese public is a great lover of arts, enthusiastic and with great knowledge of the world of dance."
She said the BNC presentations in China were "an
artistic6 gift to the youth and a people I admire."
Alonso and the BNC
previously7 performed in China in 1960, 1964, 1965, 2002 and 2004, when they presented the best of the company's
repertoire8 with performances of "Giselle," "Coppelia," "Don Quixote" and "La fille mal gardee," among others.
