“This is my birthday [present] from my friends. They took me here. It was unbelievable: the screen, the way it interacts in the back, the characters, the dancing, the music, the two string instrument, so much sound out of it. It was fabulous.

“The dancers are unbelievable to me. I would’ve thought it was acrobatics but now I understand this is part of the ancient form of Chinese dance. It’s beautiful.

“The music is so choreographed with the dancers that you can tell that they go together, and they traveled together. You don’t even notice that they are there until it’s at the end when they stand up and you realize they have been there the whole time. It’s so beautiful and so orchestrated as one.

“The [Soprano] song was a message of hope and togetherness and peace and just a spiritual message that was beautiful.

“I learned so much today and the program, I actually learned a lot from it too, it’s beautiful. Everything.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so beautiful: the colors, the dancing, the costumes. The music is just exquisite.”
