Shanghai Ballet

THE SHANGHAI BALLET

The Shanghai Ballet debuted in 1979. The White-Haired Girl, a classical Chinese ballet created in the 20th century, brought instant fame to The Shanghai Ballet and helped establish its predominant position in the international ballet world. The Company has performed The White-Haired Girl in over 1,700 performances and was first introduced to North American audiences during its coast to coast tour in the Fall of 2002.

With a history of thirty nine years, the Shanghai Ballet has, after its legendary White Haired Girl performances, created and staged new folk-styled ballet productions of The Butterfly Lovers (Xin Lili)...
