Having been cancelled last year due to COVID, the beloved annual showcase of the best of classical performance art is back. Bangkok’s 23rd International Festival of Dance and Music will be held at the Thailand Cultural Centre, from November 18 to December 16. The festival coincides with the opening up of the country and is perhaps a harbinger of the return of the city’s art and cultural activities.
Understandably, it’s a shorter festival this year, with six performances, but they are all as special and exciting to the diehard dance and music fan. In addition to the live shows, the festival will also be streaming some of the performances online, particularly the ballets. Each of the streamed shows will be available for viewing online for one week. Here’s a complete rundown of this year’s festival:
