National Ballet of China

A breathtaking performance from the center circle of the Abe Lenstra Stadium where mystical Chinese tales blend with classical ballet. The result of thousands of hours of rehearsal comes to life in a unique event that takes the spectator on an unforgettable journey full of emotion and magic. 

Not ‘Swan Lake’ or ‘The Nutcracker,’ but the exhilarating performance 'Inspiration and Glory'. Exclusively danced by the world-famous National Ballet of China and only available to see once in the whole of Europe. A dance performance of global stature in the raw setting of Friesland's largest football temple. Never before has the ensemble performed for such a large audience.

The show

Inspiration and Glory

Immerse yourself in the four beautiful storylines of 'Inspiration and Glory,' where important themes such as ambition, perseverance, collaboration, and sincerity come to life. Narratives about goddesses, wise old men, and mythical figures. An exciting performance about good and evil, hope, setbacks, balance, courage, steadfastness, and ultimately: victory.

Legendary stories that give strength and inspiration, now more than ever.
