BERLIN, Germany—Shen Yun Performing Arts has introduced authentic Chinese music to audiences in Germany, where music is a large part of the national culture.
“The precision of the coordination between the stage, the projection technology, the choreography, and the music was incredible,” said Christian Fitzner after the last performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts on April 21 at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz.
“At first, I didn’t realize it was playing live. I thought the music was a recording because it’s very difficult to find the exact tempo for the dancers. They play very, very precisely,” said Mr. Fitzner.
Shen Yun is based in New York and its orchestra features traditional Chinese instruments such as the pipa and erhu within a classic Western ensemble.
“It was very expressive. With two strings and a bow, she expressed a lot—and it was very clean,” he said.
‘You Have to See It Once in Your Life’
Piotr Stola and his wife Anna traveled to Berlin from Poland to see Shen Yun and were not disappointed. Mr. Stola is a programmer and runs several companies.“It was very impressive and amazing! The CGI effects, coupled with the traditional dance, were fantastic. This is really something new. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I think it was a spectacle, especially for young people,” said Mr. Stola.
“The screen effects are very detailed and carefully planned and completely in sync with the dancers. It’s really amazing, and it worked very well—it was really wonderful, a great performance,” remarked Mr. Stola.
“It was beautiful, the dances were beautiful, the dancers were beautiful. You have to see it once in your life,” said Ms. Stola
