Chinese soprano He has been active in the global music scene for more than a decade and has recently made the career shift from a lyrical soprano to a theater opera singer.

“This is a big step for an artist, and a road of no return,” Xu said. “I hope she will take the lead in many heavy-weight opera productions in the future.”

The Wiener Staatsballett, an esteemed ballet company of 150 years from Austria, will embark on its debut tour of Chinaand put up five performances from May 28 to Jun 3, 2020 at SGT. Two productions will be performed: Le Corsaire and Marie Antoinette, choreographed by Manuel Legris and Patrick de Bana respectively.

The SGT will also be opening itsown gallery space in the new season.

The Aura of Revival, a large abstract painting created by French Chinese artist Chu Teh-chun especially for SGT, will be presented in the new gallery space alongside other works.
