Concerts and dramas for all ages in theater’s performance season

The Shanghai Poly Grand Theater’s 9th anniversary performance season raised its curtains this month with 26 national and international stage productions planned through the end of the year, including concerts, dances, dramas, traditional operas, as well as shows for a family audience.

Classical guitarist Su Meng’s musical play “Spanish Fantasia,” staged on September 1-2, served as the curtain-raiser for the performance series. Flamenco artists from Spain were invited to join the show, making it suitable for both adult and young audiences.

German musicians Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis staged a piano battle on September 2, inventively and humorously presenting the classical and modern sides of the instrument. Audiences were invited to vote for their preferred piano player during the performance.

Spanish pianist Mario Alonso’s recital is scheduled for October 29.

The Poly Grand Theater’s dance program list includes popular works such as “A Dream of Red Mansions” by the Jiangsu Center for the Performing Arts, dance drama “A Timeless Scroll: Unfading Green,” and rising choreographer Wang Yabin’s “The Lady from the Sea.”

In drama, the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center’s “And Then There Were None” will be performed in October.

Original Chinese musical “Hamlet” will open to audiences in November. “A Shakespearean Adventure for Young Lads,” based on the great writer’s life story, is suitable for a family audience.

This year, the theater will continue its Social Aesthetic Education project, introducing low-price, high-quality shows to attract more people.

The shows include pianist Du Tianqi’s recital on September 26 and a fortepiano recital by Wang Yuehan on October 18. Ticket price ranges from 30 yuan (US$4.10) to 80 yuan.
