OSLO, Norway—Highly acclaimed Shen Yun Performing Arts 2009 World Tour appeared for the first time ever in Norway. Presented in the Oslo Konserthus, one of the country’s finest music venues, the New York-based dance company showed a packed house a spectacular of Chinese culture in classical dance and music.
In the audience were Mr. Sorlie, a media director for a global agency, Alvia, an artist—a painter, and Mr. Anggog, a nurse.
“I think [it] is great—a great performance of Chinese artistry. It’s actually very good, and it’s quite long, two-and-half hours long. You get real value for the money,” said Mr. Sorlie
Ms. Alvia added, “I am amazed by the technique of the dancers, their footwork, and the performance in general. I think it was fabulous, extremely beautiful and gracious.”
Mr. Anggog said, “I agree with them it was beautiful, just beautiful.”
Ms Alvia: “Of course, it was said that it would be ... chronological history from the ancient Chinese up to date …”
Mr. Sorlie: “That was very gracious, very good.”
Mr. Anggog: “The music was beautiful.”
Ms. Alvia: “The two-stringed violin [erhu]—I would say that this artist—I think, when I looked at the faces around, was the one that enthralled the audience the most. This tiny little woman playing this wonderful instrument captivated us all.”
Mr.Sorlie: “Because no way concert violins …”
Alvia: “We already have a good tradition with stringed instruments, but her performance was so sensitive in way that it touched the audience in a different manner than the singers did. That was my observation.”
