China Central Television held the third dress rehearsal for its much-anticipated Spring Festival Gala, Tuesday. The New Year's Eve spectacular stars virtually every available top-drawer entertainer in China. The nation's leading broadcaster presents the show to billions of revellers as a festive welcome to the Year of the Rat.

And there will be more youthful singers on the show this time round.

With few exceptions, the third dress rehearsal featured the full cast of entertainers, including comedians, singers, dancers and acrobats. This year, sports stars are a major presence at the show. China is looking forward to the Beijing Olympic Games in early August. And there will be more youthful singers on the show this time round.
