This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Festival Croisements, the largest foreign arts festival in China – a celebration of cultural exchange between China and France. 

On Behind the Curtain, CGTN's Guo Meiping sits down with four musical theater artists: French stars Laurent Ban, Elsa Perusin, and Yanis Richard, alongside Italian artist Chiara Di Bari – whose career has long been shaped by French musical theater. 

They'll take us behind the scenes – sharing what it's truly like to perform for Chinese audiences, and the moments that keep them coming back.
