SAN FRANCISCO—From January 23 to 26, the Divine Performing Arts Company presented seven shows at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre, attracting a large number of theatre goers from different ethnic groups, including a group of artists and people in art circles.
Liang, an elderly dancer from Guangzhou City in Guangdong Province was moved to tears after seeing the performance. She said the show is truly great.
Now in her seventies, Liang once had a career in dance, as well singing, opera, and theatre work. On January 26, Liang watched the performance by the Divine Performing Arts. During intermission, she expressed to the reporter, "I am very happy to see this performance," she said through tears of joy.
"I'm very delighted because it means Chinese people have hope. This is a great performance. Both on stage and behind the scenes, the Masters of Ceremony, even the set shows that this company is hardworking and responsible. It is indeed something no performing troupes from mainland China could match. I am very moved. Thank you very much."
A United States resident for over a decade, Liang said she has watched almost all the performances that come from China. As a dancer herself, she can clearly see when performances are simply thrown together, or given thought, consideration and ample rehearsal.
"Every little detail in this production was done with great care," she observed of this performance. "This was created with heart. It was so good that I feel rewarded."
Among the programs in the first half of the performance, Liang was most taken with the Mongolian dance. "Both the costumes and the expressions of performers were great to watch," she said. Liang also enjoyed the soloists like the male Tenor, but she was especially fond of the female Soprano.
