Theater’s new season offers a rich list
Print Edition
SHANGHAI Grand Theater has started its 20th anniversary celebration and new season with a rich program list.
The season of more than 149 programs running through August next year will be highlighted by a top 10 list featuring star performances by the Teatro Alla Scala Ballet Company, the New York City Ballet, Staatsoper Hamburg and Juliette Binoche.
Two operas and a concert lead the top 10 — Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” newly co-produced by the Staatsoper Hamburg and the Shanghai Grand Theater, Wagner’s “Der Fliegende Hollander” co-produced by Theater Erfurt and the Shanghai Opera House, and a concert by Orchestre de Paris conducted by Daniel Harding.
The new production of “The Magic Flute” on August 25-16 has kept the classic Mozart music, yet set the story in a city more familiar to modern audiences.
The list also covers four dance programs by top world ballet troupes, including “Don Quixote” by Teatro Alla Scala Ballet, “Sleeping Beauty” by the Australian Ballet, “Swan Lake” by Ballet de Opera National de Paris and “All Balanchine” by the New York City Ballet.
“Don Quixote” and “Swan Lake,” to be staged this August and next June, are based on Rudolf Nureyev’s choreography, to mark the 80th anniversary of the legendary ballet star’s birth.
Three crossover performances — “C’est Presque Rien” starring Juliet Binoche, Barbican Lon’s production “The Dark Mirror Zenaer’s Winterreise” starring British tenor Ian Bostridge and a new interpretation of “La Traviata” by Theatre des Bouffes du Nord — are also on the list.
Binoche will tell the legend of chanson queen Barbara — Monique Andree Serf — by acting, singing and dancing in “C’est Presque Rien” this September.
