Nicholas Bonham, an art consultant and former Chairman and Managing Director of Bonhams auctioneers in London, one of the largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques in the world, is used to experiencing the ancient world of China only through antique pictures on porcelain.
But that world was truly brought to life by Shen Yun Performing Arts at the London Barbican on Saturday night.
“It’s just been the most spectacular and wonderful evening,” said Mr Bonham, after seeing the performance.
