Dance champion Shi Wei said that the program they prepared covered a variety of dance styles, including jazz, Latin, ballet and street dance, and the actors came from China, France, Brazil, Greece, Russia, Australia and other countries, showing the friendly and harmonious life of Chinese people in Australia, a migrant home, and various ethnic groups. Brazilian dancer Everton said that he loves Chinese culture very much, and he is very happy to be able to participate in this Spring Festival Gala performance to welcome the arrival of the Chinese New Year together.
The cast of the 2024 Australia-China Spring Festival Gala is strong, not only with artists and actors from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Henan, Sichuan and other places in China, but also artists from the United States, Italy, Japan and other places who have made a special trip to Sydney, including symphony orchestras, choirs, folk music, operas, dance dramas, songs, dragon dances, lion dances, Chinese kung fu, face changing, cross talk, models, folk dances, modern dances, ballet and other forms of rich and diverse programs.
Suo Jiang said that the third Australia-China Spring Festival Gala is about to become an important milestone in the history of Chinese Australians. For many chambers of commerce and associations in Australia, the Australia-China Spring Festival Gala is not only a cultural and business platform for gathering and exchanging ideas during the Chinese New Year every year, but also a place to exchange blessings and happiness. At the same time, for families, it has also become an important family gathering around the Spring Festival, and has become a topic of common concern for Chinese in Australia. (ENDS).
