BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) — The A. V. Alexandrov Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army will perform at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing in early September. The performance will be held to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, the NCPA said in a statement posted on its official account on China's Wechat social media platform.
According to the post, the Russian ensemble will give 6 concerts on the stage of the NCIT, also known as the National Grand Theatre of China, from September 4 to 7.
According to the preliminary repertoire released by the theatre, Russian artists will perform such Russian songs that are recognizable in China as “Kalinka”, “Svyatnaya Voina”, “Podmoskovnye Vechera” and “Katyusha”, as well as Chinese patriotic songs, including “Partisan Song”.
As noted in the theater's statement, the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army named after A.V. Alexandrov has previously toured China on several occasions and was hospitably received in more than 20 cities in the country.
Let us recall that China designated September 3 as Victory Day, since Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, 1945. Earlier, the country's authorities announced plans to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. -0-
