Shanghai Ballet staged back-to-back performances of its original ballet The Butterfly Lovers and the classical Giselle in Virginia on Nov 7–8.
Launched on Oct 16, the troupe's fifth US tour spans 31 days across eight states and 13 cities. The back-to-back presentation of Eastern and Western classics has not only fostered US-China cultural and artistic exchange, but also showcased the unique charm of Chinese ballet.
