Terms & Conditions
The internationally acclaimed Guangdong Acrobatic Troupe of China makes its sensational debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Founded in 1951, the Company is China’s foremost acrobatic company.
Renowned throughout the world, the Company astounds audiences with its astonishing productions which push imagination, physicality and technology to their limits in its electrifying presentations of traditional Chinese folk acrobatics within a dynamic modern perspective. Drawing inspiration from classical dance, traditional Chinese acrobatics and elements of Peking Opera, the Guangdong Acrobatic Company’s extraordinary version of Swan Lake has taken the world by storm since its premier in 2006. A co-production with the Shanghai City Dance Company, this spectacular ballet, a seamless fusion of breathtaking acrobatic feats and magnificent classical dance, has transformed its principal dancers into international stars and thrilled audiences worldwide. The present theatre was built in 1858. During World War II it was used as a dance hall but after the war the decision was made to establish the Royal Opera House as the permanent year-round home of the opera and ballet companies now known as the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet. The ballet company reopened the building on 20 February 1946 with The Sleeping Beauty. The two companies combined for Purcell's The Fairy Queen that December, and on 14 January 1947, Covent Garden Opera Company gave its first complete opera performance, Bizet's Carmen.
