(Clearwisdom.net) Temperatures outside in Boston may have been freezing on Sunday afternoon for the last show by Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Opera House, but inside the theater, enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause from the audience gave a warm send-off to the New York-based company on its World Tour.
Shen Yun is a family affair for Bostoners
Repeat attendees: Mr. Blankenau and his daughter who was born in China
Many families with children were in the audience for the 2 p.m. performance. Mr. Blankenau, an engineer from the Boston area, brought his little Chinese-born daughter. This year was their fourth year of attendance for the Shen Yun show in Boston. Mr. Blankenau said they enjoyed the orchestra very much and also commented on the dancing, saying: "I think the dances are fantastic. "
Stock Exchange Examiner: "The singers are phenomenal"
Mrs. Ryan attends Shen Yun after receiving tickets as a gift from her husband
Mr. and Mrs. Ryan were also in the audience. Mr. Ryan, who works in sales, purchased tickets as a holiday gift. He was not familiar with Chinese culture, but his wife said she had traveled through China and studied the language some time ago. Neither of them had seen Shen Yun before, and both enjoyed the show.
"It's unlike anything I've ever seen," said Mr. Ryan. "It's definitely different ... they're very talented, there's so much to take in."
Mrs. Ryan, an examiner for the stock exchange, said: "I'm enjoying it a lot. I love the dancing and the syncronization. I'm very impressed with the talent. And the singers are phenomenal."
Business Executive: 'It fills your heart'
Mr. Connetti lavishes much praise after seeing the show
Also in attendance at the matinee was Mr. Connetti, a business owner. He was impressed by the Shen Yun Performing Arts show, saying, "Extremely wonderful! It's just--words can't tell you the talent that's out there. It's just extremely wonderful. In other words, the main thing is that it fills your heart. It feels good and your whole body feels like you're part of it. It's wonderful. Yes, a nice, divine feeling, and its inspirational. The people are so beautiful, and they express it there so well. The talent out there! It ... gets you in your heart. It feels good to be here, to see that show.
He couldn't say enough good things about Shen Yun and continued, "I love the dancers, the talent, It's hard to imagine the talent--the way they move around. The colors, the colors of the dancers! I like the music, and the [orchestra is] great. The singers voices are so powerful, that's what I like. So I'm having a wonderful time here--I'd like to see all five shows. They did a wonderful job."
