Dance drama Li Bai takes bow on social media

A Chinese dance drama has made its global debut on social media platforms abroad, generating a new wave of discussion on the beauty of Chinese culture among art lovers from all over the world.

Li Bai, a classic production by the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater, has struck a chord with global audiences through the telling of a lifelong journey of the literary giant Li Bai.

After a year of fine-tuning and polishing, that seminal work has returned to center stage. From plot structure to music composition, stage settings and costume design, the renewed version of Li Bai is telling the story of China's literary giant with a fresh new look. The classic piece by the prestigious institution greeted audiences at the National Centre for the Performing Arts three months ago with sold out shows. For those who missed it, the streaming event provides another chance to take it in.
