Ballet: A Sigh of Love

The Shanghai Ballet started to rehearse Sino-France co-produced ballet A Sigh of Love on June 28th, 2006.

Ballet: A Sigh of Love is a national ballet created by the Shanghai Ballet after five years’ introduction and learning from foreign experiences. The ballet is set in Shanghai during the 1930s-1940s when Shanghai was an ‘isolated island’. It combines the characteristics of classical and modern ballet, and demonstrates artistic charm of its luxury, sadness, fashion, romance and reminiscence. It also expresses that: “the best human love experience may just be as short as ‘blossom youth’, or only a wishful thinking depending on chances.” The professor of Shanghai Theatre Academy Cao Lu Sheng is the playwright. As recommended by AFAA, Mr. Bertrand d’At, Director of Ballet de L ‘Opera National du Rhin, is the choreographer. (Wenhui News)
