This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Italy, as well as the 700th anniversary of the death of Marco Polo, one of the most influential figures in cultural exchanges and trade between China and the West. To continuously enhance cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and Italy, the opera Marco Polo has returned with honors and was re-staged and performed on the stage of the Guangzhou Opera House from May 3rd to 4th. This opera restores Marco Polo's travel stories, highlights the cultural value and humanistic charm of the Silk Road, expresses praise and prayers for peace among humanity and harmony in the world, allowing audiences to transcend mountains and rivers and touch history, continuing the friendship between China and Italy. The Youth Dance Troupe of South China University of Technology was invited to participate in the performance.
