NEW YORK—After watching Shen Yun Performing Arts’s latest performance on June 25 at the Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in New York City, award winning anchor Frank Cipolla said he found the world premier classical dance company’s performance “superb.”
Mr. Cipolla, who came with his wife Laura, praised the show. He said, “We like the way it’s presented, we like the colorfulness of it and we really enjoy the culture of it as opposed to something we haven’t seen before.”
“We are really enjoying that aspect of it,” he said.
He found the dances performed by the company “really powerful.”
“I especially liked the Plum Blossom dance, [it was] very well done, very well choreographed,” said Mr. Cipolla.
“And it told a story too, it told different stories that I wasn’t aware of being an American, not aware of stories from a different culture of China and of ancient China, so it was very interesting to learn about the culture and the background and what each dance means,” said Mr. Cipolla. “I guess these dances are a resurgence to make people aware of this culture.”
Frank Cipolla has been on major TV and radio stations for more than 30 years. Currently, he is an anchor at the Wall Street Journal Radio Network. He also penned a book called It Shocked Even Us, documenting stories he experienced as a local reporter.
