TORONTO, Canada—By the end of the first half, Member of Parliament Daniel Muys already had plenty of good things to say about Shen Yun Performing Arts, which he watched at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on April 2.

“It’s been wonderful,” said Mr. Muys. “I think it’s a beautiful performance with an important message.”

Mr. Muys said that Shen Yun’s performance was very good quality.

“I think it’s a strong performance. I think the visuals in the background, in addition to the dancing and performance and costumes … [was] quite interesting.”

“The music is phenomenal,” Mr. Muys added, saying that Shen Yun’s live orchestra is “obviously a world-class orchestra.”

“I think it’s important because … as a society, we should always be remembering our history and our past,” he said. “I think that obviously, whatever their faiths and traditions that people have that is important in their lives, that should be respected and should be continued to [be] passed on from generation to generation.”

Finally, to the performers, Mr. Muys wanted to say: “Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Obviously, what we see on stage is perfect and professional, but there’s a lot of hard work that takes place behind the scenes. So, thank you for doing that, and thank you for bringing that to us here and here in Toronto.”
