(Clearwisdom.net) Janacek Theatre, one of the three stages of the National Theater in Brno, Czech Republic, was selected as the venue for three performances by Shen Yun Performing Arts on April 11 and 12.
Shen Yun brought to the Czech people stories from China's past and present, stories that were handed down as folklore and stories that tell of the Chinese people's courage in the face of severe tribulation.
Ms. Fajtlova and Ms. Kucerova, corporate representatives at a leading advertising company, were excited after seeing the show.
Ms. Fajtlova said, "It was a really nice show, and beautiful. We like Chinese culture very much. It was very interesting. Marvelous! We liked the choreography and the costumes, and the singing was really beautiful."
Ms. Fajtlova also said, "Our hearts were touched by the purity of the entire performance, in contrast with the rough reality we live in all around us. We were very pleased that we could learn more about classical Chinese culture. Thank you for the opportunity to see it. We wish you all the best in organizing similar events."
Shen Yun Was Beyond Expectations
Mr. Zabojnik, marketing sales manager for an Internet company, said that although he had watched the promotional video, seeing the show itself exceeded all his expectations. "I was surprised at what I saw--certainly! It's a great experience!"
He was greatly impressed by the dances, "Dragon Springs Drummers" and "Flowing Sleeves." "I enjoyed the drums very much. It was just in the beginning, and then the long sleeves, how tender they were!"
Referring to the performance, "Knowing the True Picture Offers Ultimate Hope," he enthused, "I enjoyed the final scene, where there was everything!" Mr. Zabojnik added, "The singers were also extraordinary and we had a great experience in every aspect."
Ms. Kohutova, a geologist, also attended the show. She said enthusiastically, "We really enjoyed the show!" and added that there was much to think about in the performance.
University Professor: "We thank you very much!"
Amongst the enthusiastic audience were university professors Ing. Svetackova and Dr. Meliskova. Ing. Svetackova shared her impression of the artists. "Very sophisticated bearing by the dancers, outstanding choreography and great enthusiasm was displayed by the artists throughout the entire performance. This was mirrored by the audience. We thank you very much and wish you and the artists much success, and such enthusiastic audiences as we had here today," Ing. Svetackova said with a big smile.
Dr. Meliskova said, "I most enjoyed the scene showing Tibetan dances."
Niels Sergton, a Swede who is a business consultant, shared his impressions of the show. "It was very fine art! Thank you!"

When asked to share which number was his favorite performance, Mr. Kolar said, "Do you think that when everything is so beautiful, you can choose what's the most beautiful?"
"Now we see that we are here just for some while, while they [Chinese], 5,000 years ago, already had a kind of culture, a kind of social order, respect for human beings and everything that is somewhat missing nowadays," said Mr. Kolar.
Mrs. Kolar added, "We would be happy to see the show again here in Brno!"
