ZAGREB, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- The "Happy Spring Festival" performance by an arts troupe from central China's Hubei Province captivated audiences at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management (ZSEM) in the Croatian capital on Monday.

Artists from the Hubei Provincial Performing Arts Group presented a rich variety of traditional performances, including the folk music ensemble "Prosperous National Music," suona solo "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," and a guzheng and pipa duet "Spring River Moon Night."

The program also featured Hubei folk songs such as "Dragon Boat Tune," Han Opera's "Drunken Concubine," and the guzheng and dance piece "High Mountains and Flowing Water."

In addition to musical and operatic performances, the show also included magic acts, Sichuan face-changing, and breathtaking Wudang martial arts displays.
