From May 8-21, the final round of the 10th Plum Performance Award, China's highest honor in the performing arts, took place in Shanghai. To help more people experience the charm of the award up close, a special pop-up exhibition and runway-style performance was held at Zhangyuan Garden.
At the event, this year's contenders, including Zhu Jiejing, Lan Tian and Bao Chenre, joined past winners in dazzling traditional opera costumes and modern dress. They appeared one by one on a second-floor balcony before making their way down to the main performance area, where they struck poses and interacted with the crowd.
The event also featured live performances of Peking, Kunqu and Huju operas, giving audiences an immersive taste of classic Chinese theater. (Source: Shanghai Daily)
