Butterfly Lovers

One of China’s foremost ballet companies, Shanghai Ballet has captivated audiences worldwide since 1979, earning 32 international medals and performing on stages from Lincoln Center to the London Coliseum. In Butterfly Lovers, the company blends classical precision with poetic Chinese storytelling. Often described as the nation’s Romeo and Juliet, this timeless tale of love and sacrifice unfolds with sweeping choreography, sumptuous design, and “rare beauty and technical perfection” (CriticalDance).
