MONTREAL, Canada— On the evening of Feb. 2, Shen Yun performed the first of its five consecutive shows at Place des Arts-Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Montreal. Sitting in the audience, restauranteur Waddah Elias and his wife, Rita Ghosn, were mesmerized.
“Emotions, emotions, emotions!” Mr. Elias exclaimed. “It’s really nice. It’s my first experience [with Shen Yun] but it’s not going to be my last. I’m going to come back.”
“You can feel all the emotions when they were dancing. It was really divine. You can really see it,” he said. “The colours, the dancing—they were so [precise]. You don’t see that often.”
“It was crazy! They were so in harmony. You feel like you’re watching a movie. It was really well-made and I really enjoyed it,” Mr. Elias said with enthusiasm.
“I’m going to be talking about it! I’m going to put posters in my restaurants. I can sell tickets for [Shen Yun] if they want.”
“Frankly, everything. I don’t know where to start and where to end! I really have goosebumps, I loved it,” she said. “I don’t want to tell you that I liked one and not say that I liked the other one. I liked them all!”
She wanted to congratulate Shen Yun and let the artists know that “we really appreciate the effort they made—the whole team that worked hard for this event. Bravo! And continue! I hope that everyone will come to see this beautiful show.”
