The Shanghai Oriental Art Center has unveiled its spring-summer performance season. On the list are the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Chelyabinsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, Russian pianist Andrei Ivanovich, Polish pianist Katarzyna Borek and French violinist Renaud Capucon.

The spring-summer season from March to August will have 61 productions in 91 performances, including music concerts, dance, drama and opera.

Frenchman Renaud Capucon will give a violin recital on May 19, making him the first international artist to perform at the art center since the pandemic.

A recital of Polish pianist Katarzyna Borek is scheduled for June 3, followed by a performance by Russian pianist Andrei Ivanovich on June 4.

Also in June, the Chelyabinsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater will bring two ballet productions, “Swan Lake” (June 9 and 10) and “Anna Karenina” (June 16-18), to the art center.

On June 25, the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor and Symphony No. 2 in E minor under the baton of conductor Nikolay Alexeev. Daniel Kharitonov, a 24-year-old Russian pianist, will also perform.
