(Clearwisdom.net) Chinese and Western audience members enjoyed the second Chinese Spectacular show presented by Divine Performing Arts (DPA) at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on the evening of May 6, 2008.
An older couple sitting in the front row were very animated during the show. They kept blowing kisses to the stage. She exclaimed, "Gorgeous!"
A gentleman sitting on the left in the front row warmly applauded at the end of each performance. After tenor Hong Ming's second song, "Fa Rectifies Universe," the gentleman couldn't help giving a standing ovation until the curtain finally dropped.

After seeing the show with her husband, restaurant owner Zhengli said it was an exquisite show and that there was no way to find such a show in China today. "Every performance has a different background and meaning, each very beautiful and unique. I am very moved. The sopranos and tenors are world class. I don't know much about Western singers, but I can't think of any Chinese singer who could be their match."
Mr. Wang, a draftsman, said he heard about the show too late last year and missed it. His friends told him how beautiful it was, so he had been longing for it. As soon as he read about the show in the newspaper in January, he bought five tickets.
"My whole family came to see the show, which we had looked forward to for a year. The show is even beyond our expectations! It is wonderful! We liked it from beginning to end. We will be DPA's loyal fans and come every year!"
Mr. Chen, born in Canada, works for the provincial government. He loves Chinese culture and takes Chinese classes. He bought front-row tickets for his grandparents and himself. All three of them loved every performance and enjoyed the show every much. Mr. Chen said the promotion of the show was very successful. He was pleased that the governor was very supportive, and the Alberta Minister of Culture attended the opening reception.
