ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Carl and Lyda Lindell attended Shen Yun Performing Arts’ last Florida performance of its 2012 world tour at the Mahaffey Theater on May 5.
Carl Lindell, a local businessman engaged in real estate, the automobile business, and banking, said, “It’s fantastic. It’s unbelievable. It’s beautiful!
“I love the screens [the digital backdrops]. I love the dancers, the costumes, the music. It’s all great. That’s why we came. We love the Chinese history and culture.
“It’s a very unique show all the way around—everything’s unique about it.”
Speaking of the dancers, he said, “They’re very athletic and amazingly gifted.”
“It’s beautiful, too—the colors and the back-lit screen, the costumes, and all. It’s just a nice experience. It really is,” Mr. Lindell said.
Lyda Lindell, an eye surgeon, said, “Oh, the show was lovely. I’ve never really seen anything like it. It’s very unusual, very athletic.
“I loved the silk sleeve dance [Sleeves of Silk] and the lotus dance [Lotus Leaves]. It was very beautiful, and I like the way the animation is done from the back. It was very interesting,” she said, referring to the animated backdrops.
