Shen Yun Review: —CurtainUp

“This lavishly costumed spectacle is… supported by a full orchestra comprised of traditional and modern instruments and an impressive display of scenic effects to inspire awe... To bring life-like dimension to the settings, 3D animation is often integrated into the projections that reveal breathtaking vistas… Dance is at the heart of this expansive entertainment, with both the male and female dancers exhibiting the various disciplines… The women… show versatility that prescribes vigorous jumps and dazzling spins… Artistically choreographed divertissements in which sea nymphs cavort in the waves and brightly costumed dancers fill the stage as flowering forsythia are lovely to watch… A large contingent of Mongolian men beat out intricate rhythms with bunches of wooden chopsticks, as they imitate the movements of eagles and horses. Some scenes… [have a] humorous side, and two other scenes… are vivid in their poignancy and dramatic intensity… The entire company makes a concerted impression... Enough can't be said about the artistic mission of a company that employs six choreographers.”
