Did you grab the ticket? Top celebrities and groups gather at the Shanghai International Art Festival in China
The 22nd Shanghai International Art Festival in China is returning in the golden autumn, and a series of heavyweight dramas have recently launched morning bird tickets in the form of art festival special features on Damai.com.
As one of the opening performances of this year's art festival, on October 14th, at the Fountain Square of the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the world's top conductor Christopher Eisenbach led the Chinese Shanghai International Art Festival Festival Orchestra, and performed classical music masterpieces such as Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto in E-minor", Tchaikovsky's "Polonaise", Ravel's "Daphne and Kroe", along with soprano Angela Georgiou and violinist Maxim Vinglov, as well as arias such as "A Sunny Day" and "One Night in the Deep Sea".
As an innovative move of this year's art festival, the Shanghai International Art Festival Festival Orchestra in China is a new band composed of conductor Xu Zhong as the joint artistic director and the Shanghai Opera Symphony Orchestra as the team, under the operation and coordination of the Shanghai International Art Festival Center. It also incorporates the voice chief and excellent musicians of the top domestic symphony orchestras.
This performance is not only the global debut of the Shanghai International Art Festival Festival Orchestra in China, but also the first time that the Shanghai Exhibition Center has opened the outdoor fountain square as an outdoor performance space to the public. When the symphony resounds through the bustling city center, the audience can not only appreciate the historical charm of magnificent buildings, but also feel a grand outdoor art feast.

Following that, on October 15th, as one of the opening performances of this year's art festival, Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe will bring a collection of 55 works of "Peony Pavilion" to the Shanghai Cultural Square, singing the voice of China to the world.
Commander Terje Yev will collaborate with nearly 300 artists from the Malinsky Theatre to bring the latest performance of the epic opera "The Ring of Nibelungen". The two chapters of this version of the opera, "The Gold of the Rhine" and "Valkyrie", completed their world premieres in St. Petersburg this summer. The other two chapters, "Siegfried" and "Twilight of the Gods", completed their world premieres on stage at the Shanghai International Art Festival in China in October. This year marks the 210th anniversary of Wagner's birth. The news that the theatrical version of "The Ring of Nibelungen" by Dzeyev and Marinsky will be staged in four nights and a total of 16 hours at the Shanghai Grand Theatre from October 16th to 22nd has sparked a strong response from fans.
Russian soprano Anna Naribeko will perform Russian master works at a solo concert at the art festival, including excerpts from Nikolai Rimsky Kosakov's operas "Golden Rooster" and "Snow Girl", Rahmaninov's "Window", "Answer", "Dream", Tchaikovsky's "Early Spring", "Crazy Night", and "Serenade".
As one of the world's top modern ballet companies, the Swiss Lausanne Bega Ballet has visited Shanghai multiple times. At this year's art festival, the Baja Ballet subverted the audience's inherent understanding of ballet with performances such as "People Always Imagine Themselves" and "The Dance of the Seven Greeks". The original dance drama "Yonghe Nine Years", newly created by the Shanghai Opera House, brings together outstanding creative and leading actors from the dance and drama industry, including Wang Ge, Wang Yabin, Cao Lusheng, and Zhang Aoyue, showcasing the beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
