Russian performers find fans in China amid tensions with West
==========

Russian performing arts groups, including the chorus and orchestra of St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, have found eager audiences in China after being shut out of Western countries due to tensions over the invasion of Ukraine. The groups have been tapping into China's growing interest in the arts, with renowned conductor Valery Gergiev leading the Mariinsky Theatre's performances in Beijing. This shift towards China comes as economic growth in the country has fueled interest in cultural exchanges.
