Lecture Series on Appreciating Ballet — All is Well

(Conducted in Cantonese, Free Seating)

With its innate ability to bring joy, relaxation, and positive energy, comedy has the power to evoke fond memories.

Full-length ballets adapted from fairy tales, literary classics, myths and legends create stage happenings that can be either fantasy or realism based, and therefore never fail to appeal to the audience.
