“Very good show, fascinating. It was a surprise because it’s the first time I’ve seen a show like that. We were struck by the combination of the culture and the spirituality of the show,” said Mr. Ferrari, an entrepreneur.
Shen Yun is based in New York and its dancers are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.
“The dancers were sublime,” Mr. Ferrari said.
He noticed that he felt “serene and complacent” after the performance.
China was once known as the land of the divine and Shen Yun’s mission is to revive those 5,000 years of culture and spirituality.
Although Shen Yun is sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with the world, Shen Yun is not able to perform in China.
“A flaw indeed. The dictatorial state naturally leads to many missed opportunities at expression,” Mr. Ferrari expressed.
“They should be encouraged and pushed in conveying these messages globally. Our presence is to encourage these kinds of events,” Mr. Ferrari said.
Francesca di Stefano and Stefano Salvitti attended the performance on Feb. 3. They also felt that Shen Yun needed to continue with its mission.
“I wish them to continue in their commitment and their ability. They conveyed it well—they convey empathy,” said Mr. Salvitti, a public administration executive.
“Remarkable. Very interesting mixture of classical and more modern, Eastern and Western instruments,” Mr. Salvitti said.
“Gorgeous, remarkable harmony, individual and collective beauty, even the images that were projected behind completed a wonderful picture,” Mr. Salvitti said.
