One of the highlights is the National Theatre's production Nye starring Michael Sheen, which is the 100th National Theatre live play since it launched its program of digital cinema broadcasts, known as National Theatre Live (NT Live), in 2009.
With this year marking the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, productions by Comedie-Francaise will be screened in China, including two of Moliere's classic comedies — The Bourgeois Gentleman and The Impostures of Scapin.
The screenings also feature four art documentaries, including Titian: The Empire of Color, which explores the life and work of Tiziano Vecellio, one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, and Borromini and Bernini: The Challenge for Perfection, which is the story of an architectural revolution and the famous rivalry between Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) and Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680).
Besides theater screenings, audiences can also enjoy these productions online.
