Shen Yun is ‘an experience of a lifetime’

BY Epoch Times Staff TIMEMay 10, 2009

PASADENA, Calif.—Shen Yun Performing Arts delighted a Southern California audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday afternoon, May 9.

In the audience was Dr. Holly, a chairperson of a Long Beach steering committee and an educator in the school district, who thought the performance was “awesome. 

“I was completely transformed through each of these scenes for each performance. The colors and the scenery—everything was pulled together very nicely, and it was a completely entertaining performance both visually and musically,” she said.

This was the first time that Dr. Holly watched this particular performance. About 25 years ago she saw a Chinese opera performance when she was traveling in China, but she found this show “completely different, very exciting and enjoyable.”

Dr. Holly also enjoyed the vocal performances and said the lyrics were “quite enjoyable, very soothing, relaxing,” and “fulfilling.”

“I enjoyed them very much,” she said.

In closing, Dr. Holly said that she would encourage everyone to see this show.

“It is an experience of a lifetime. You will walk away remembering almost every single scene. You will remember something long after the performance is over. You must see it."

'Absolutely wonderful'

Also coming to see the show was Ms. Mechling, an interior designer, who thought the show was “absolutely wonderful,” “very exciting,” and “very exotic.”

Ms. Mechling said the show was “much more” than she expected and that it was “really beautiful.

“I think the art side of it and the dancing is incredible … It's just very beautiful.

“I really enjoyed coming to it. It was very nice.”

New York-based Shen Yun will be playing one more show at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Sunday, May 10, followed by two shows at the Orange County Performing Arts Center on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 12 and 13, before traveling to San Jose.
