NEW YORK—This weekend Divine Performing Arts’ Chinese New Year Splendor came to Brooklyn, N.Y. for the first time, and was shown at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. During the last matinee show on the afternoon of Jan. 4, several VIPs and high-ranking people in the financial and business sectors in New York came to watch the show.
Ms. Kmatik is a financial adviser at one of the world’s largest international professional services firms. When asked what she thought about the show she said, “I really liked the fact that it brings together and displays all parts of China’s culture. And it really shows how rich the culture of China is, and it’s done so beautifully, and it’s really entertaining and it’s really a very, very nice show.”
She brought her mother with her. Ms. Kmatik had heard about the show for the last three years and was always interested in coming, but this was the first time she had actually been able to come to the show.
She said that by intermission her favorite dance was Welcoming Spring, a dance performance with female dancers that features the blossoming of flowers in the spring season. Quick footwork, crisp movements, and stunning bursts of color personify China’s folk dance tradition.
The show features Chinese classical dance, as well as the worlds’ largest interactive background, which interacts with the whole show to create the scenery and ambiance. Divine Performing Arts finished its 2008 season with more than 220 shows in more than 66 cities across four continents.
If you missed the show over the weekend, worry not: Divine Performing Arts will be at Radio City Music Hall on January 24 and 25 to ring in the Chinese New Year.
