The Royal New Zealand Ballet RNZB is returning to China in June following the popularity of its appearances in 2007.
The RNZB would stage six performances of Romeo and Juliet in three centres, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and the Oriental Arts Centre in Shanghai.
General manager Amanda Skoog said the RNZB had
an international reputation, and the return to China would further cement that.
Touring overseas was essential to the ballet's artistic development, and the troupe was honoured to be invited back, she said.
