Beijing Peking Opera Company director Li Zhuoqun and renowned director-actor Guo Baochang will stage a Peking Opera work, titled The Grand Mansion Gate, which is an adaptation of the popular TV series with the same title directed by Guo.

Highlighted dance productions will include The Moon Opera by Tianjin native dancer-choreographer Wang Yabin and Winter of Peacock by renowned Chinese dancer-choreographer Yang Liping.

Western troupes will bring classic dance productions to Tianjin, including Giselle and Don Quixote by Ballet Company of Teatro alla Scala from Italy, and Swan Lake and La Bayadere by the Mariinsky Ballet from Russia.

In terms of theater performances, audiences will see Taiwan director Stan Lai's classic pieces, The Peach Blossom Land and The Village.

Opened in 2012, the Tianjin Grand Theater is not just seen as a place for live entertainment, but also as a scenic tourist destination in its own right. It not only attracts audiences from Tianjin but also from Beijing, which is a 30-minute journey away by high-speed train.

"Tianjin has a history of more than 600 years and is known for its unique culture, cuisine and ports. It's not just about coming to see a show. For people living in nearby cities, it's a short vacation hub as well," says Guo.
