SAN FRANCISCO-The Chinese New Year Spectacular continued to fascinate audience members during its second day of performance in the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco.
"Very nice, [I] enjoyed the show," said Tibetan Lama Jampa who came to see the show from Palo Alto, California. Jampa is also a teacher at the Menlo Park Bodhi-path Buddhist Center.
"I liked the first performance [Descent of the celestial kings] the most," said Jampa, who found many common themes with Buddhism in the show.
According to Divine Performing Arts, the company that organizes the Spectacular , the mission of the show is to present ancient Chinese culture and values through classical dances and music.
Josh Gorfine, who also lives in Palo Alto, said it was interesting to see and compare past China with the modern world.
"It was really beautiful and it was nice to see the ancient Chinese culture; [ Spectacular ] had a good message for everybody," said Gorfine.
"I really liked the poetry, the songs, and the message of some of the acts," said Gorfine, who found the show "inspiring".
The Spectacular will wrap up its performance in San Francisco after two more shows on Saturday.
Beginning on Jan. 30, the NTDTV Chinese New Year Splendor will play for 15 shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
