E. N.Tsarenko
Dear Elena Nikolaevna,
We are sincerely glad to know that this year Kostroma Russian National Ballet successfully completed the 20th anniversary season of the annual summer tour and will be presenting the Global Dance Overture international cultural and educational project in China. Please accept our warm and sincere congratulations!
Under your leadership, Kostroma Ballet has become a bright calling card of Russian culture. Your productions vividly recreate the rich history of the country and the diversity of its folk traditions, rightfully considered the gem of Russian folk dance.
Kostroma Ballet visited China for the first time in 2017 and took part in the Russian Culture Festival in China in 2022, winning sincere love and recognition of the Chinese people and contributing to the further deepening of cooperation between China and Russia in arts.
The Global Dance Overture project opens a new model of cooperation between dance groups from the BRICS countries and plays an important role in disseminating the dance culture of these countries, as well as in developing mutual learning and exchange of experience. The Chinese partners highly appreciate the contribution of the Russian counterparts within the BRICS framework in creating a platform for interaction in culture, especially in the field of folk dance.
We are pleased to welcome the tour of Kostroma Russian National Ballet in China this year and the events within the scope of the Global Dance Overture project. I am sure that this will become a bright page in the Year of China-Russia Culture, to which the leaders of our countries pay special attention.
I wish the ballet company great success in their tour in China!
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation
