Iconic Shanghai art center unveils special 20th birthday program

At the center's Opera Hall, the Moscow Art Theatre will bring The Seagull to Shanghai for the first time in August. It will be followed by two more highly acclaimed dramas presented by the Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia in September, Eugene Onegin and Uncle Vanya, both of which will be making their Chinese debuts.

While introducing overseas works to China, the center has also been making efforts to tell Chinese stories to the world, with original productions such as the Road to Victory and Unknown Heroes, as well as dance drama Thunderstorm.

The center is also planning to expand comedic productions, cultivate more talent and provide audiences with more diverse, innovative and high quality offerings.
