​Italian musical "The Divine Comedy" stages vibrant roadshows in Guangzhou

Recently, the cast of the Italian musical "The Divine Comedy" staged a series of splendid roadshows in Guangzhou, adding unique vitality to China-Italy cultural exchanges.

At the special exhibition "Crown of Elegance: Court Life and Art of Savoy in the 18th Century" at the Guangdong Museum, the cast of "The Divine Comedy" surprised visitors with an unforgettable flash mob. Six lead actors and several dancers performed a vibrant mix of Chinese and Italian classics — from the 2025 hit "The World Has Given Me" to the melodious Chinese folk song "Jasmine Flower" and the passionate Italian folk song "O Sole Mio."

The fusion of musical styles, combined with lively singing and dancing, energized the crowd with cheers and applause, evoking the festive spirit of a 17th-century Italian marketplace.

The cast also held a meet-and-greet at Guangzhou IFC, engaging closely with the public. These vibrant roadshow events are significant parts of the Italian Cultural Season, jointly presented by Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum, and Guangzhou IFC, allowing residents to experience the artistic charm of "The Divine Comedy" and Italian culture beyond the stage.

As a national-level cultural exchange project, "The Divine Comedy" has received strong support from Italian diplomatic missions in China throughout its tour.

As the flagship theater of China Arts and Entertainment Group, Guangzhou Opera House has long been committed to advancing China-Italy cultural cooperation and exchanges, playing an active role in promoting mutual understanding through the arts.
