Audiences across the Chinese mainland recently experienced a fusion of European theatrical flair and cross-cultural artistry as Melissa Mars and Noémie Garcia, celebrated performers from the French musical sensation Mozart, l'Opéra Rock, concluded their acclaimed tour. The production’s modern reinterpretation of classical music drew packed theaters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, underscoring growing appetite for international cultural exchanges.
In an exclusive feature with CGTN, Mars reflected on the tour’s success: “The energy from audiences here is electric – they sing along, they connect deeply with the story.” Garcia added, “We’ve explored local markets, tried regional cuisines, and even incorporated subtle Chinese-inspired gestures into our performances.”
The tour highlights strengthening cultural ties between China and France, following recent collaborations in theater and film. Analysts note such exchanges align with China’s push to expand international cultural tourism, offering new opportunities for global artists and event organizers.
