Russian State Ballet opened the performing season of Music Fans, a Beijing-based performing arts company, on April 20, with its classic program, Swan Lake, performed by the troupe's leading ballet artists, Dmitry Kotermi, Luliia Zviagina and Anna Shcherbakova.

Besides Swan Lake, the troupe will bring classic shows, including Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and The Nutcracker, to Beijing.

Russian State Ballet, a frequent visitor to China, has toured the country many times but what makes this tour special is that they are going to bring a new program, titled The Adventure of Little Onion, which will be staged at Century Theater in Beijing on April 30.
