"Shanghai Day" Lights Up Lincoln Center in New York
Art as a Bridge: A Transpacific Cultural Resonance NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / Co-presented by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Center for the China Shanghai International Arts Festival, Summer for the City's Shanghai Day ignited a cultural wave in New York City. From afternoon until late at night, a vibrant array of performances and interactive experiences-fusing classics with innovation, fashion with tradition, and youth with passion-took place across the Lincoln Center campus, drawing an estimated audience of thousands. This spectacular artistic exchange opened a vivid window for New Yorkers to experience the diverse vitality of Shanghai-style culture. China-style dance drama WHITE SNAKE ignites a cultural wave in New York City Li Ming, President of Center for the China Shanghai International Arts Festival, stated: 'We are honored to bring Haipai (Shanghai-style) culture to this global stage at the invitation of Lincoln Center. Through this unique artistic celebration, we hope to showcase the charm of Shanghai and the creativity of Chinese artists to a worldwide audience.' Mariko Silver, President and CEO of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, said: 'We invite New Yorkers and visitors to explore different cultures and deepen their connection to creativity from across the globe here at Lincoln Center. Today's events are such a beautiful example of cross-cultural exchange and artistic discovery for audiences of all ages. We are so glad to be working with the Center for the China Shanghai International Arts Festival.' Shanghai Day marked a world-class presentation of Haipai culture. Innovative interpretations of traditional Chinese arts offered immersive and interactive experiences that reshaped global perceptions. Inside the David H. Koch Theater, the Shanghai Grand Theatre premiered its original dance Lady White Snake to U.S. audiences for the first time. Drawing from the Chinese solar terms for musical inspiration, the performance blended traditional Chinese instruments with Western orchestration and electronic sounds. Visually symbolic elements such as clocks and geometric forms illustrated spatial shifts and emotional depth. The performance integrated ballet, classical Chinese dance, and modern dance into a fluid cross-genre dialogue. Artistic director Tan Yuanyuan led an elite team to deliver a stunning fusion of ballet grace, flowing water sleeves, and poetic stage aesthetics inspired by Jiangnan, presenting an ancient legend in an entirely renewed form. In the lobby of the David Rubenstein Atrium, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio's classic The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven captivated audiences with vivid colors and Chinese mythological charm. In the family zone, the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra presented Stories of Chinese Zodiac using suona, pipa, and other folk instruments, accompanied by water ink animation from Zhang Lelu that delighted children and invited them to engage with traditional instruments. As night fell, the garden transformed into a 'Shanghai Cultural Pavilion.' Intangible heritage booths offered hands-on experiences: papercutting, knot buttons, calligraphy, traditional qipao, handmade cotton crafts, vegetarian treats from Longhua Temple, and dazzling cloisonné candy boxes from Lao Feng Xiang. A 'Guochao Punk' Peking Opera makeup booth was particularly popular, with New Yorkers lining up for custom opera face designs. Nearby, Zi-Ka-Wei Library showcased Shanghai-themed creative products that condensed cultural meaning into modern design. At Damrosch Park, the Arknights Concert-produced in collaboration with globally renowned composers like Gareth Coker-offered an electrifying mix of electronic, folk, and symphonic sounds. Audiences were transported into immersive game worlds through high-impact musical storytelling. Meanwhile, the Dance Floor transformed into a summer dance stage. China's new generation of dancers energized the crowd with breaking, popping, and locking. Their specially choreographed global hit Spread Your Wings sparked spontaneous dancing among the audience. Jazz trumpeter Li Xiaochuan bridged East and West with original compositions reflecting the evolving 'Chinese sound.' As the evening deepened, a 'Silent Disco' allowed hundreds of attendees to dance freely in isolated headphone worlds-blending erhu, pipa, and electronic bass. Throughout the event, the Lincoln Center was imbued with 'Shanghai"-from the Lujiazui skyline to Yuyuan Garden silhouettes. 'Today felt like being transported to the other side of the world,' said Fromm, a New Yorker who had never been to Shanghai. 'Every sense-from sight and sound to taste-was immersed in a city that is both historic and modern, Eastern and global.' As the lights dimmed at Lincoln Center, the cultural resonance of 'Shanghai Day' lingered. From elegant pointe work and traditional music to intangible heritage and immersive beats, this celebration became an invisible bridge connecting hearts across the Pacific. Through the power of art and culture, a moving new chapter was written in the story of U.S.-China cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
