The Legend of the White Snake, an original ballet production by Guangzhou Ballet, will premiere in Beijing's Tianqiao Performing Arts Center in August.

Choreographed by Wang Ge, an award-winning choreographer, the ballet production follows the classic Chinese folktale about Bai Suzhen, a white snake transforming into a beautiful woman, who is longing for human life, and her romance with her husband Xu Xian.

Wang combined traditional Chinese dance, Chinese folk dance and contemporary dance elements with ballet movements in the production. Celebrated artist Tim Yip joins designed the costumes.

The Legend of the White Snake will tour nationwide after its Beijing premiere by visiting Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Zhengzhou.
