SEATTLE—People from many walks of life filled the Paramount Theatre on Thursday as the Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular concluded their run in Seattle.
Reda Hunter, who works as a special education teacher in Seattle, loved the show and helped promote the show at her work where she handed out flyers for others to see.
"I loved the show I saw here tonight." The Spectacular had sparked memories of when Reda traveled to Beijing last year, where she had seen a couple of shows on her trip.
As it turns out, the Spectacular was actually a birthday present for Reda's granddaughter.
All the music that is played during the Spectacular is recorded by the Divine Performing Arts Orchestra that is based out of New York. The Divine Performing Arts Orchestra incorporates both Western and Eastern musical instruments to provide the audience a wide variety of composition. Reda mentioned that she enjoyed listening to the classical music of the orchestra.
Reda's favorite performance was the 'Drummers of the Tang Court', adding, "That was pretty powerful."
Frances Beierl from Seattle and Marian Mayberry, a retired history teacher from New Jersey, also attended the Spectacular and were impressed.
Marian loved the changing scenery on the backdrop. "The scenery in the back was so beautiful, it was just as beautiful as their dancing on stage."
"The whole thing was set up fantastically, I was very much impressed," said Marian.
Marian's friend Frances also enjoyed the show. "I enjoyed the whole thing."
Marian and Frances both have experience playing the Chinese cello. However they were amazed by the erhu (the Chinese violin) and began discussing the differences in range between the cello and the erhu.
