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.
