“The orchestra is excellent. Everybody plays very, very well,” he said.
“The conductor, he’s got a great command of the orchestra. But [the musicians] also have a great respect for him in how they listen, how they respond dynamically, how they respond rhythmically, and the interplay between each in terms of their tuning, the intonation, their pitch. It’s flawless. It’s a very, very fine orchestra.”
He added that the cooperation between the orchestra and the dancers was also flawless. “It’s a seamless interplay.”
“My son loves the battle scenes,” said Mrs. Bodanis.
Shen Yun is known for its colourful costumes, all of which are handmade.
“Beautiful,” said Mrs. Bodanis of the costumes. “They really go well with what they’re doing. Very flowy, beautiful, graceful, colourful.”
“It’s the best show I’ve ever seen in my life,” said her son.
