“It was really good,” said Mr. O'Neill at the National Arts Centre on the afternoon of March 18. “I don’t know all the history of China and all that, but it was neat to hear all the different regions, the sounds of them.”

“I liked all the dancing. I liked the Asian instruments that add a lot to it for sure. I have a musical background, so it’s nice to hear that flavour in it. Of course, I wasn’t familiar with any of it until seeing it,” said Mr. O’Neill, who attended the matinee with Catherine Morin.

“Oh, I loved it. I loved that they explained everything. So you know exactly what it is and what the history is. It’s very nice,” said Ms. Morin. “So many cultural experiences.”

“It was a good entertainment and learning at the same,” said Mr. O'Neill.
