A theatrical performance staged by artists from Jiangsu province enraptured the audience in Taiwan Tuesday evening when it was performed at the Xinzhuang Culture and Arts Center of New Taipei city.
The performance got started with the opera drama A Beautiful Jasmine, which is choreographed by the Dance Troupe of the Jiangsu Performing Arts Group.
Some 100 artists from both sides of the Taiwan Straits joined in the performance featuring music, dance, Peking opera and instrumental music. The artists come from the Dance Troupe of the Jiangsu Performing Arts Group, Taiwan Xinzhuang Art Trouoe and Taiwan Fo Guang Shan Monastery Choir.
Many Taiwanese audiences said that the cross-strait performance shows that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same ancestral roots and will become bonded closer through the continuous and in-depth cultural exchanges.
Wang Yanwen, a member of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Publicity Department, and Lv Weiqing, vice mayor of New Taipei, watched the performance.
The performance is part of the Jiangsu Culture and Arts Festival which was kicked off in Taiwan Monday afternoon at the invitation of the Taiwan Foundation for Humanities and Culture.
