La Scala Ballet Makes Historic Debut in China
La Scala Ballet brings a rebirth of George Balanchine's
A Midsummer Night's Dream to China (Hong Kong,
Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai). This tour not only highlights
the artistic heritage and excellence of the Italian company,
but also offers an important opportunity for cultural exchange:
under the baton of David Garforth, Mendelssohn's scores are
played by the host-theatre orchestras, and the little elves
are interpreted by the young pupils from local ballet schools.
