The National Ballet of China staged The Red Detachment of Women in Le Théatre du Chatelet of Paris during 1-3 October, 2013. French media, ballet circle and people of all walks of life paid close attention to the performances. One French friend once said, “A wave of enthusiasm for Chinese ballet has swept over Paris these days.”

The National Ballet of Chinas has brought The Red Detachment of Women to France for three times altogether: 2003, 2009 in Opéra de Paris and 2013 in Le Théatre du Chatelet of Paris.
