VANCOUVER, British Columbia—Mr. Goble, a lounge enertainer who sings everything from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley, was thrilled with the Shen Yun Performing Arts show he attended at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Friday evening.
“I thought it was terrific, the whole message, everything was terrific. The quality of the voices, the dancing, everything was wonderful. I really enjoyed the evening.
“I am an entertainer. That is why I enjoyed the music,” he added.
The Shen Yun orchestra is unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. All the compositions are original and created to complement each dance.
Mr. Goble’s brother, who works at a forensic psychiatric hospital, said he had been wanting to see the show and “finally made it.
“I enjoyed it very much. I wanted to come for the last couple of years, but finally got to this show. ... I really enjoyed it. We’ll be back again. … It was all very good, very entertaining, beautiful.”
An important part of Shen Yun’s mission is to revive the five-millenia-old artistic heritage of China. Each program is rich with background and meaning.
“The beauty of the whole thing—it was really great, it was really interesting. The music was great, and the girls were pretty. It was very, very entertaining,” he said.
Mr. Goble described the voices of the soloists as “very powerful,” and said the message imparted by the show was “very strong.
“Just all the singing; the voices were terrific. The quality of the voices, the emotion, and everything else were very strong, very lovely, but I had no idea that whether it has something to do with Falun Gong, but maybe it is. It kind of makes me want to learn a little more about it. I am going to check into it just in case that’s what they are talking about.”
Two dances in the show depict the persecution of Falun Gong, a traditional meditation practice, by the Chinese regime.
“The fact that it can perhaps—the message might be there, the enlightenment might be there. I heard a little bit about it before—more about the persecution that is happening. It sounds sad, but I didn’t know what the message was. It sounded like the message is that there’s some enlightenment here. They can lead you to what most people are looking for—I think some sort of enlightenment.
“All the messages were very strong about being free and everything else. It was a very powerful show right from beginning to end.”
