The Bolshoi Ballet is visiting Shanghai again after 23 years. The Russian ballet will present five shows at the Shanghai Grand Theatre from Oct 17 to 21.

The 250-member strong team will present four performances of Spartacus, one of the company's most celebrated repertoire from Oct 17 to 19, and the Ballet Gala on Oct 21. The performances will be accompanied by the Bolshoi Orchestra.

Shanghai is the only stop for the company's 2024 China tour. Last year, the Bolshoi Ballet visited Beijing and performed Don Quixote in July. According to Makhar Vaziev, artistic director of Bolshoi Ballet, "We made the big decision to visit Shanghai because it is one of the most renowned cities in the world, with lots of important cultural accomplishments."
