DPA Radiant in Radio City: Businessmen Praise the Show (Photos)DPA Radiant in Radio City: Businessmen Praise the Show (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On January 25, 2009, on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) New York Company, combined with the Divine Performing Arts Touring Company, performed their final show at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan. Many corporate executives who attended the show expressed their heartfelt praise for DPA.

International Executive: "I Treasure the Insights that I Gained from the Performances"

The two gentlemen pictured above are childhood friends. They come from different backgrounds, yet both of them are successful Manhattan businessmen. Mr. Chen Hao is the owner of an international floor material company, and Mr. Sageeya De Colb is the Vice President of an outdoor advertising company. They attended the show to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Mr. Chen Hao immigrated from Shanghai, China to the United States when he was only six years old. He often travels to China for business, but never watches any Chinese shows when he is there. He said, "The show we saw this evening is very exquisite. It is hard to decide which performance I like best! I understand all the spiritual messages that this show is expressing. I treasure the insights that I gained from the performances. And the music is very good. I admire the performers&9 artistic technique and their ability to express the show&9s inner meanings."

Vice President of Advertising Company: The Show Provides Spiritual Solutions to Life&9s Difficulties

Mr. Sageeya De Colb said, "This is a great show that should be viewed by more people, and people need to know about this show."

He continued, "This show is so beautiful, so fantastic! The choreography and all aspects of the show work in perfect harmony with each other. The dancers are very graceful, not only gentle and soft, but also powerful. It is pure beauty! The music is like a breeze, very soothing. The costumes are so pretty that they shook the audience with their colorful display. It is hard to express the feeling."

Mr. De Colb said, "The ending was a pleasant surprise with heavenly beings descending down to save people. This is a wonderful production!"

He said that he often attends different shows when he travels, but has never seen anything like the DPA show. He was impressed with both the content of the show and the rich cultural and spiritual inner meanings.

"At a time when the world&9s economy is on a decline, people need this show because it brings us genuine peace and serenity, which cannot be disturbed by anything," he said.

Mr. De Colb added, "There are so many problems that we have to face in this world, so many problems to solve, so many tribulations that we need to be able to break through. This show provides a proper perspective, enabling us to find spiritual solutions."

International CEO: DPA Helps Dissolve Misunderstandings about the Chinese People


Mr. Baker and his wife

Mr. Baker is the CEO of a large international company. He and his wife watched the last show held at Radio City. He thought the entire show was surprisingly marvelous, from its artistic expression to its spiritual content. This was his first time watching such a colorful and profound performance.

"Those performers are so pretty. I feel they are like angels, pure and graceful. The costumes are shockingly pretty, the music is very soothing, the backdrop is alive, unbelievably beautiful!" he said.

Mr. Baker added, "This show is very beautiful and meaningful. All the people--especially those who misunderstand Chinese--should come and watch it. Some Westerners think Chinese are no good, but that is a misunderstanding. In fact, it is not the Chinese that are not good, but the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that is not good. People easily mistake the CCP for China, thus they misunderstand the Chinese people. Their opinion of the CCP clouds their perception of the Chinese people."

"The Chinese performers are so beautiful, pure, kind, elegant, and understanding. I hope the Western world can see these traits. I hope that all Chinese people will strive to lead good lives, without persecution or hardships."

《談論百老匯》：世界一流精彩絕倫的神韻晚會

【明慧網二零零九年一月二十八日】（明慧記者劉東編譯報導）《談論百老匯》二零零九年一月二十二日刊登著名戲劇評論家Richard Connama對神韻新年晚會的評論。觀看過三千多場百老匯演出的Richard認為，天賦極高的舞蹈演員展現的是真正的中國五千年文明歷史。晚會讓人看到了中國古代的城池和栩栩如生的烽火台，在另一個場景中，看到佛從天而降，讓人大飽眼福。這場演出從各個角度來講都非常壯觀。

Richard說，世界一流精彩絕倫的神韻新年晚會最近再次蒞臨舊金山，慶祝牛年的到來。這次，神韻晚會是在舊金山歌劇院和庫柏蒂諾市的弗林特藝術中心上演。

神韻新年晚會被稱為海外最大的華人新年慶祝活動。晚會包括天賦極高的舞蹈演員、光彩萬千的傳統服裝和演繹中國歷史人物和事件的舞蹈節目，展現的是真正的中國五千年的文明和歷史。舞蹈引領著觀眾去訪問中國不同少數民族地區和朝代。編舞有很多高難度技巧；四十人組成的樂隊用各種中西方樂器演奏原創音樂。

這些中國古典舞演員運用跳躍、旋轉、翻騰和各種高難度的技巧，並通過身法和身韻乃至身心的結合來實現內外的合一。

今年神韻演出包括二十一個美輪美奐的節目。節目之間有兩位迷人的主持人用中英文介紹一些相關文化和歷史知識。開場節目棒極了，期間包括二十五位擊鼓手在內的所有舞蹈演員，都身著絢麗服裝用盛大的舞蹈歡慶中華五千年文明。

晚會有很多非常美妙的畫面。舞蹈《婆羅花開》中可愛的女舞蹈演員們讓我想起當年美國最著名的編舞Busby Berkeley編排的舞蹈畫面。領舞的技巧和身韻絕對一流。而演繹中國最受愛戴的詩人“醉仙”李白的舞蹈展現了一幅令人神往的畫面。

神韻演出中有一個叫作《迫害中我們屹然走在神的路上》的舞蹈，演繹的是中共政權對法輪大法的迫害。其中男女演員表演的都非常出色動人。晚會中傑出的歌唱家楊建生、關貴敏和元曲等演唱了關於信仰的歌曲。

演出的三維立體天幕非常棒。在《木蘭從軍》中，我們看到了中國古代的城池和栩栩如生的烽火台。在另一個場景中，我們在天幕中看到佛從天而降，然後出現在舞台上。演員的服飾顏色絢麗而且是中國古代正宗的裝扮，讓人大飽眼福。這場演出從各個角度來講都非常壯觀。

《談論百老匯》（Talkin&9 Broadway）是評論百老匯戲劇、查找百老匯演出、了解劇院消息的網上專業媒體。作者Richard Connama在二戰時，是一名戰地攝影師，拍攝過美軍佔領日本、飛虎隊在中國的情況。後在華納（Warner Bros）和派拉蒙（Paramount）電影公司任助理攝影師。多年來他已經觀看並評論了三千多場明星上演的百老匯劇目。

瑞靄千重繞靈山，庄嚴淨土出塵寰。
洪聲法鼓惊蒼宇，妙雨香風涌金蓮。
仙子裊娜揮彩練，天音婉轉動江關。
世人今睹玄中景，象外春光億万年。
