“Absolutely beautiful, lovely. The way the girls glide I was really interested in how they walked, they walked so quickly, just a gliding action, I’ve never seen that before, I was absolutely fascinated about that.”

“Loved the costumes, loved those long sleeves. It was fantastic how they came out and came back again. I just thought the whole thing was well put together.”

“[The backdrop is] marvellous. Isn’t it clever how they come down and they jump out at you, it’s very cleverly done the whole thing—it’s really worth seeing.”

“It’s communicating some of the Chinese culture … and we really need to understand it.”

“The Chinese music, the orchestra was really well put together and the conductor is so enthusiastic. We really enjoyed watching that.”
