The following article appeared recently in the Taipei Times, in advance of the Kirov's week in Taipei.

Both Giselle and Swan Lake are pretty much sold out. I have to admit I was a little surprised given the extremely high ticket prices. Prices ranged from 1500-4800NT$ (US$47-150; UKP 24-76), compared to 400-2000NT$ (US$12.50-62.50; UKP 6.30-31.70) for Cloud Gate. For many National Theatre performances a perfectly reasonable seat can be had for as little as 300NT$ US$9.30; UKP 4.70). The mixed programme is less than half sold.

Hi David,

Thanks so much for the post. If you attended the performances, do let us know your impressions!
