The 2017 Beijing New Year’s Ballet Swan Lake was put on stage on Dec 30 at the Great Hall of the People, which was jointly produced by the CPAFFC, Beijing State-owned Assets Management Co.,Ltd. and Beijing Beiao Group.

The performance given by Ukraine's Kiev Ballet, also known as the National Ballet of Ukraine, had attracted over 6,000 people. The famous Dance of the Swans and the highly difficult 32 fouetté turns perfromed by the troupe won loud applause.
Founded in 1867, Kiev Ballet is renowned for its world-class presentation of classical ballet. Under the renowned choreographers Serguey Sergueev and Vakhtang Vronskiy, it is among the most distinguished ballet groups in the world.
