Celebrate Lunar New Year at the Kennedy Center
With its dazzling hybrid of western ballet and Chinese culture, National Ballet of China has won a distinguished reputation for performing cherished works and original creations. The renowned company returns to thrill audiences with its luminous fusion of traditions, telling the story of a family’s Chinese New Year celebration—set to Tchaikovsky’s treasured Nutcracker score.
This colorful, fresh tale is brought to life by vibrant characters and radiant choreography. As a young Chinese girl celebrates the New Year, she embarks on a mystical journey through a world of festive Chinese customs. Audiences will delight as a scroll of Chinese folklore unfurls, showcasing the legendary monster Nian, the elegant and graceful Fans, the extravagant dances of Silk and Spinning Top, and more wonders in the ravishing Porcelain Kingdom.
Live music by the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra and National Children’s Chorus, United States of America
