"Deal! Five concerts in London Grand Theater." The head of Shanghai Ballet Xin Lili said during the live rehearsal of original ballet "Jane Eyre". Shanghai's newest original modern ballet "Jane Eyre" will be performed in London Grand Theater for five performances on August 14 to 17, and it will make a performance record of Chinese single ballet in the mainstream stage.

"Jane Eyre”, with idea by Shanghai Ballet and choreography in Shanghai by German director Patrick de Bara, enjoyed a certain success at the box office in its debut last year in SSIMF. Earlier this year, Shanghai Ballet made a trial to the international market, and meanwhile the German choreographer brought performance video to London Grand Theater for recommendation, arousing their great interest. "The British never thought by far the first"Jane Eyre" on the world's ballet stage would be born in Shanghai, with such a modern dance style." Xin LIli said.After selecting the UK's leading theater with accommodation for 2,500 people - London Grand Theater, Shanghai Ballet also hired a famous local marketing and public relations firm for publicity and marketing, trying to launch Chinese original works in new ways of operation. Ticket sales have already begun in London at the moment, a full three months ahead of the final performance.

To get more public praise after opening the market, the ballet will preview "Jane Eyre”at the cultural square by the current "Shanghai Spring”on May 15th and 16th. Later Patrick de Bara will come to Shanghai in mid-June for improving the pas, and the French costume designer will also modify some starring costume. The ballet will join in the contest of the 2014 "Laurence Olivier Theater Award" after performed in London, to compete with repertoire of Western art troupes.
