SEATTLE—New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts brought its unique blend of Chinese classical dance and music to Seattle’s Paramount Theatre as part of its Spring Tour 2009 of the West Coast. Shen Yun returned to Seattle for two shows after a successful performance earlier this year.
Mr. Moritz, a financial analyst, attending the matinee show. An avid fan of Chinese culture, he applauded Shen Yun’s authentic and comprehensive presentation of China’s rich history and culture.
“I love it, I enjoy the costumes, I enjoy the music, and I’m enjoying the whole cultural experience of it. I enjoy learning how other people live and what their background is,” he said.
The world-class performance incorporates China’s 5,000-year-old history, portrayed in the form of Chinese classical dance and music, in which many of China’s diverse ethnicities are presented.
“What I am walking away with is the depth of Chinese culture. They [the Chinese] have been here for a long time, and it gives me a better appreciation of their depth and history,” said Mr. Moritz.
Shen Yun is a beautiful presentation of Chinese classical, ethnic, and folk dances performed to original music. Along with the orchestra that combines Chinese and Western music and instruments, the show also features accomplished solo singers and musicians.
An innovative digital 3-D backdrop provides an animated setting to frame each dance.
