TEL AVIV, Israel—Udit Belkine, a journalist and editor, brought her young daughter to Shen Yun Performing Arts to experience art that aims to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. The little one was on the edge of her seat the whole time, Ms. Belkin said.
“The story is so full,” she said after seeing a performance at the Shlomo Lahat Opera House on April 11. “The show is so incredible and so precious.”
“You sit for an hour, and you’re in another world,” Ms. Belkin said. “For some time, you relax ... you don’t think about anything else.”
“It’s very interesting, it’s impressive,” she said. “It’s very nice, and as you can see the venue is packed. People came from all ages, and everybody seems to be very, very pleased.”
“I think it’s a fantastic show—technical, artistic, professional, and what else? amazing! The performance is a combination of very ancient tradition with amazing talent,” Mr. Hershku said.
He pointed out the Tibetan ethnic dance performed right before intermission and the audience’s great response. “[It was] very impressive. It received thunderous applause because it was a more joyful and exciting dance. It’s exciting to see that, even at my advanced age, they manage to surprise me!”
Amir Lipschitz, a mechanical engineer and owner of a large company, also felt immersed in the experience.
David Regev said the performance was just as its name suggested—“the beauty of divine beings dancing.”
“This show was fabulous,” he said. “The dancers were, wow, so intelligent, so sophisticated.”
“This is a good impact I think, the impact is to wake up people, I think,” Mr. Regev said.
