CURITIBA, Brazil—The beauty and cultural significance of Shen Yun Performing Arts did not go unnoticed by the audiences of Teatro Positivo.

Adriana Maria Wan Stadnik, a university professor and the president of a local gymnastics federation, came to see the performance on May 7.

“It was spectacular ... an extraordinary show. I absolutely loved it,” said Ms. Wan Stadnik.

“The orchestra was magnificent. We in the audience were trying to count the musicians due to the rich variety of sounds,” expressed Ms. Wan Stadnik.

All of Shen Yun’s music was written or arranged by Shen Yun’s resident composers. The exquisite blend of melodies and timbers impressed Ms. Wan Stadnik.

“It was impressive how they showcased the instruments and how they utilized the different sounds,” she said.

Noemia Rocha, a Curitba councillor, was at Shen Yun’s performance on May 8. She shared that she was impressed with the entire performance.

“I was deeply impressed by this performance—the choreography, the skill, the dancers, the amazing orchestra,” she said.

“The message that I adored, that moved my heart, was the divine intervention in the lives of individuals. It was fostering more love, more empathy, and greater solidarity amongst people,” she shared.

She also expressed her gratitude to Shen Yun for coming to Curitiba.

“Curitiba is thankful. I'll be eagerly awaiting next year to join you once more. ... Continue to spread this enlightening message and foster this sense of protection and connection among individuals. God bless you,” said Ms. Rocha.

A teacher of design, Marcelo Catto Gallina was also at the performance with his wife on May 8.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

“[Shen Yun] allowed us to understand a little of Chinese culture. It was very beautiful,” said Mr. Gallina.

He enjoyed the use of the digital backdrop and the precise timing involved.

“All the framing, the timing, the colors, the movements were perfect. The harmony is beautiful,” said Mr. Gallina.

When he learned that Shen Yun is unable to perform in China, he said, “It’s a shame, because they’re actually portraying history and it’s a beautiful way of telling history.”
