On July 22, the original ballet The Peony Pavilion by the National Ballet of China made a triumphant return to the Beijing Tianqiao Theater. In 2026, the NBC revived the production, with the creative team polishing it meticulously, allowing this timeless tale of love to bloom once again on the ballet stage.

Director Li Liuyi and the original creative team, together with the cast, greeted the audience after the opening performance.

Highlights

The current run of The Peony Pavilion will continue at the Beijing Tianqiao Theater until July 26, with different cast appearing in subsequent performances. We look forward to welcoming you to the theater to experience the profound beauty of Eastern ballet.
