“I’ve never seen a whole [dance] piece based on the styling of the costume. ... It was wonderful. The use of the backscreen, I’ve never seen that built into choreography. There were a lot of really special things I’ve just never seen before.”

“[The music is] beautiful, absolutely beautiful.”

“[The music and dance were] just almost inseparable. It’s really fantastic. ... To hear that they redo the show every year is really stunning.”

“The feeling of what they’re trying to convey from when [in] ancient Chinese life, you couldn’t separate nature and beauty and divinity from that part of ancient Chinese life, it was great.”
