Poly Grand Theater kicks off a lively spring
SHANGHAI Poly Grand Theater in Jiading District is starting its spring season, offering 46 programs from classical to pop, drama, dance, traditional operas and theaters. The program runs until June.
“We have a big variety of programs for this season, covering almost all popular types of stage performances, trying to meet the needs of different people,” says Qin Tiji, president of the theater.
Grammy award-winning jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval’s concert will be a highlight. The Cuban musician with 10 Grammy Awards, one Emmy Award, and six Billboard awards is known for his high pitch.
His show is part of his 2017 China tour. Most of the programs to be presented this time are Sandoval’s own compositions, including “Swingin,” “The Real McBop,” “Soca Beat” and “Having Fun.”
Eight French school cellists will bring their own interpretation of classics such as Rossini’s “Barbier de Seville” (overture), Mozart’s “Noces de Figaro” (overture), and Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly” (Coro a bocca chiusa).
The Taiyuan Dance Troupe will present a full-length dance drama “The Boddhisattva in a Hand” on May 25, which is based on a Buddhist Chinese legend.
Apart from classics, Shanghai Poly Grand Theater is also expanding into traditional Chinese operas, children’s theater and even comics in the Shanghai dialect.
“We hope we can provide exactly what the audiences want, just like cutting a dress according to their figures,” says Qin.
The program list for Kremilin Chamber Orchestra’s concert on April 28 will be made based on audience vote on the theater’s WeChat account.
