This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Italy. At the same time, in order to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the death of the legendary Italian traveler Marco Polo, the Guangzhou Grand Theater recently re-staged the original opera "Marco Polo". The play will be performed on May 3rd and 4th.

On May 2, reporters from 21st Century Business Herald visited the crew at the Guangzhou Grand Theater and had a direct look at the rehearsal scene. Marco Polo’s performer Feng Guodong told the reporter that the opera has many Western and Chinese elements. The composer's composition, as well as our entire stage design and performance all incorporate Chinese and Western ethnic elements, so it is very listenable and watchable.
