“I didn’t know what to expect and it was absolutely gorgeous,” Ms. Sult said.

“I enjoyed it very much. I thought the performers were very talented. The music was excellent. I enjoyed it a lot,” Mr. Sult said.

“The women’s dance was very powerful,” he added.

“I thought it was interesting when [the emcees] said that a lot of the acrobatics [and] tumbling comes from classical Chinese dance,” Mr. Sult said.

Ms. Sult shared that she enjoyed both the men and women dancing. She also enjoyed the soprano, but the two-stringed erhu left her with tears in her eyes.

“I don’t know what instrument it is. The two-string one. Yes, I was crying,” she said.

“Oh, it was incredible, very beautiful. ... It just brings out the feelings. Yes, it’s beautiful, very expressive,” Ms. Sult said.

China was once known as the Land of the Divine. From the Emperor to his people, everyone looked to the divine for guidance, and that belief acted as a moral compass for many dynasties.

“Human beings seem to need to believe that there’s some greater thing. And the truth is, I think that the divine is in all of us. People need to believe something that’s greater than themselves,” Mr. Sult said.
