Troupe movements By Kevin Ng for THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES
HONG KONG - When artistic companies from St. Petersburg tour Asia, they often receive an enthusiastic welcome at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
In recent years the venue has hosted many major troupes. In 2002 the Mariinsky Theater ballet company's sold-out week of performances was the dance event of the year in Hong Kong. Last year the St. Petersburg Philharmonic delighted music lovers there. This year it is the turn of the Eifman Ballet which, after giving four performances in Hong Kong last week, is now performing this week in the neighbouring city of Macau, the second and last stop of this Chinese tour.
