SAN DIEGO—“I love this show. The costumes are beautiful,” says retired fashion expert Mrs. Giaruso.
She and her husband attended San Diego’s Divine Performing Arts show at the Civic Theater on Saturday Dec. 27.
 
Mrs. Giaruso has designed, taught, and spoken on behalf of the Fashion Institute throughout all of southern California. “The colors are extravagant and well displayed,” she explained.

Speaking specifically about the costumes’ design, she said: “Oh, it’s perfect! I love the flow of the gowns; it’s very fluid, and the girls move very well. They really show off the colors and the design work. So, I applaud whoever designed this and did the choreography; it’s beautiful.”

She also enjoyed learning the history of China. “My husband has been to China, and he has seen a lot of the culture and has seen some of the shows, so he wanted me to see this today.”

Mr. Giaruso, a retired engineer, said “This show is historic, it’s beautiful ... it’s approach is different. It’s designed to show the history of China in dance, in song.”

This show is “a more historical presentation of China, Tibet, Mongolia, all of that part of the world. It’s giving me more education in the history of China.”
