Mr. Vohra attended the closing performance in Vienna and said that he wouldn't have missed it for the world. New York-based Shen Yun, acclaimed as the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, has as its mission the revival of the spirit of traditional Chinese culture.
"For me, this show was breathtakingly beautiful. I'm still stunned," he said after the show.
"I am deeply impressed by the multimedia techniques used in this show, the projections on the backdrop and the choreography. This performance will always remain with me as a wonderful experience and I was fortunate to see it," he added.
Mr. Vohra has traveled worldwide and met many traditional artists.
"I was in China and met different types of artists, from martial arts to traditional dancers, but to have seen a performance in this special type of story-telling is absolutely number one."
The Shen Yun Touring Company Orchestra, with its blend of Western and Chinese instruments, produces a unique sound, something Mr. Vohra enjoyed.
"The music was of exceptional quality and the mix of traditional and Western classic is brilliant," he said.
Mr. Vohra hopes that one day Shen Yun will be able to perform in India: "I wish to bring this show to India. There are many possible theaters and it would be of great happiness to us to have this show in India. And I'm certain that it would be so popular that one could keep the show going for two years without stopping.
"The costumes are marvelous and certain parts of the show were so poetic. The one scene the represented the plum blossom, to me was absolute poetry."
