Shen Yun sells out in New York!
Welcome to this week’s Shen Yun Review where we’ll be letting you know just what audiences around the world think about recent Shen Yun performances, I’m Trevor Piper.
This week we hear from some of the people lucky enough to get tickets for the recent sell out show at the David H Koch Theatre located in New York’s Lincoln Centre. New York being the place Shen Yun Performing Art’s calls home, it is no surprise the event was a sell-out.
And in case you’re wondering what exactly Shen Yun is, I’ll take a few moments to let you know more about this unique and enchanting performance.
With its explosive techniques, synchronized movements, enchanting elegance, and expressive powers classical Chinese dance is at the core of Shen Yun’s performances. Shen Yun’s one-of-a-kind orchestra, with its all-original compositions, blends East and West like no other producing a fresh, unexpected sound.
Little needs to be said about New York’s Lincoln Centre which holds itself as the world’s leading performing arts centre. The David H Koch Theatre is a magnificent venue and home to the New York City Ballet. The theatre’s features include inlaid travertine marble floors and soaring gold leaf ceilings in the promenade area. The two and a half thousand seat auditorium has an ornately panelled gold ceiling with an immense spherical chandelier as its centrepiece.
So now onto our audience members.
First we hear from Ricco Estebian, a French singer recording in New York. Ricco was particularly struck by Shen Yun’s orchestra and singers, the sopranos in particular. Adding the show ignited the imagination and left his heart burning (audio).
