STAMFORD, Conn.—Sidney Lipschitz saw Shen Yun Performing Arts on May 7, 2026, at The Palace Theatre.

“I enjoyed every part of it. It was excellent, the dancing, the choreography, the music, the history was beautiful,” said Mr. Lipschitz, a retired dental sales manager.

“The entire story inspired me because of the culture of the Chinese people. It’s very, very interesting, very old, and very ancient. Goes back thousands of years. Almost to the time of creation of the world,” Mr. Lipschitz said.

“I would say that your performance was excellent. It was very meaningful, and there was a lot of meaning behind the performance that they put on, and you can recognize the hard work and effort that they put into to succeed and excel in what they were doing. Take a lot of pride in what they do,” Mr. Lipschitz said.

Mr. Lipschitz expressed that Shen Yun is “Absolutely relevant to the current world. The communists don’t want us to learn about this, they don’t believe in any of that.”

Shen Yun’s website says, “China was once known as “The Land of the Divine.” Mr. Lipschitz saw that some of his faith was reflected in Shen Yun.

“I think the effort was fulfilled, the effort priceless, excellent, something that has to be passed on to generations,” Mr. Lipschitz said.
