CHICAGO— Audiences were treated to visions and melodies of incredible beauty at the Civic Opera House in Chicago on Sunday Dec. 28, by Divine Performing Arts (DPA) New York Company.
Mr. Blair, manager and information technologist, was in the audience. He was happy to drive from Bloomington to see such a performance, buying the tickets as soon he saw them advertised. Although Mr. Blair loved all the performances his favorite was the dancing. He said “It’s a nice way to get a boost of culture. I liked the very ornate dancing, it was always very graceful, smooth, artistic.”
Ms. Ivanylo, Doctorate of Pharmacy, and her mother Mrs. Horodyskyj, a musician from Ukraine, were also thrilled.
Ms. Ivanylo said that she had never seen anything like this before. She said, “I actually work with so many different people from all over the world … so I love to learn about cultures.”
“This is something new for us, the Chinese dance, we’ve never seen it, especially live ... and it’s amazing, I love it. I felt during the whole performance, the note of freedom, like we want to be free, we want to go back to free religion, free from those communist kind of rules.”
Mrs. Horodyskyj also said she likes to learn about different cultures. She plays in a symphony orchestra and teaches violin in Chicago. She particularly liked the orchestra and the music and said, “Amazing, I loved it, it’s different.
This was the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) New York Company’s final performance in Chicago. The next leg of its 2009 World Tour will be in Detroit, MI.
