GLASGOW, UK—Alistair Kirkland and Evita Vilcevska saw Shen Yun Performing Arts on Feb. 5 at the SEC Armadillo.

“Amazing. It was just a wonderful performance and a fantastic orchestra as well. Just a great show,” said Mr. Kirkland, a retired director of a business.

Ms. Vilcevska said that she enjoyed seeing the smiling faces of everyone on stage.

“Just hearing initially about the storyline beforehand and actually seeing it acted out was incredible. Absolutely amazing,” Mr. Kirkland said.

He said he enjoyed the “great energy” of the dancers.

“That was incredible. Didn’t even expect that. To see them disappear into the screen and then come out,” Mr. Kirkland said.

He was amazed at how the dancers interacted with the backdrop.

“I don’t know how they did it; it was somebody, as an old man, coming out as a young man,” he said. “But he didn’t even go into the screen, he was just like there, and how that happened, I will never know.”

“I was even saying to Alistair, I keep forgetting that actually this is the real music right there, a real orchestra,” Ms. Vilcevska said.

“I’ve learned so much here,” Mr. Kirkland said, adding that it was “just wonderful.”
