Figure-hugging Chinese cheongsam, a pallet of all the gorgeous colors you can imagine on a theatrical stage, breathtaking melodies, characteristic setting, close-knit arrangements of dancing movements and many more make Raise the Red Lantern a hit worldwide shortly after its debut. It creates great stir in the world ballet community and receives a shower of media praises across Europe. Thanks to it, the National Ballet of China was nominated for the British National Dance Award (the dance world's equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Foreign Dance Company.

Since its world premiere on May 2, 2001, the National Ballet of China presented the full length ballet of Raise the Red Lantern in more than 20 major cities in China as well as on a world tour to Singapore, Italy, France, UK, USA, Australia, Mexico and Russia. In August 2008, Raise the Red Lantern was staged in the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and finished a 5-city Korean tour in October.
