Answer

While receive usually means "to accept," there is a second definition- "to experience something."  For example, "she received a serious injury" could be translated as "she experienced a serious injury." In this case, the performed piece is still experiencing regular shows.

Similar words:  sustain or undergo.

Answer

It could still mean "accept" in a figurative sense.

The musical piece "accepts invitations to be performed" around the world.
