Liu Bing, a teacher at Beijing Dance Academy, expressed admiration for Zakharova's performance, noting her ability to infuse characters with rich dramatic tension through body language and life experience.

In mid-May, Zakharova and her colleagues delivered four performances at the Shanghai Grand Theater, including a collaboration with acclaimed violinist Vadim Repin, Zakharova's husband, in Pas-de-deux for Toes and Fingers. This performance featured dances set to celebrated violin compositions, showcasing their artistic synergy.

The Beijing Performing Arts Center, known as the "cultural granary", opened to the public in late 2023, boasting a unique design reminiscent of an ancient granary. With its multiple theaters and an outdoor amphitheater, the center provided a fitting stage for Modanse to enchant audiences in the opera house.
