‘You are completely transported to another world’

“It was a high-class performance for the artists. It was harmonious, it was beautiful, the instruments were truly fantastic, and what was created on a musical level to accompany the dances was really great. ... [The emcees] explained that it was created especially for the show. I am a musician, so I particularly enjoyed that part that accompanied the dance.”

***

“I liked the combination of the Western and Oriental instruments, especially what they explained to us about the traditional instruments. ... [The] artist who played the traditional instrument, the erhu—it was really good, it was touching.”

***

“You are completely transported to another world, like when reading Chinese literature about the dynasties. We feel completely transported into another world, especially with the piano. I found it great because [the music] changed the atmosphere completely.”

***

“I also liked the costumes—very beautiful costumes—and also the effects they did with the backdrops and characters going out of the screen.”

***

“It’s good to remind us that [spirituality] is part of [the Chinese] culture, it’s in the history. There are great principles like [those of Lao Zu]. Then there is another scene about persecution in China. ... It is very interesting to see it in this show. There is the side that is somewhat like a fairy tale but also truthful stories [about contemporary events in China].”
