Several world-famous ballet companies at the festival covered a wide range of styles - classical ballet, such as Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet; and also more contemporary presentations like Infants of Paradise and The Brothers Karamazov.

This ballet season also aimed to showcase the works rooted in Chinese traditional culture to audiences home and abroad.

China's top 10 ballet troupes also joined hands for a first time to present a fantastic show.

"Developing ballet with Chinese characteristics is our goal. We convened China's top 10 ballet troupes and let them perform their original plays. It is important in promoting Chinese original ballets," said Wang Quanxing, deputy director of National Ballet of China.
