Shen Yun Performing Arts gave a performance in Torino, Italy, on Jan. 4, taking audiences on a journey through ancient China. Theatergoers commented on the beauty and skill of the performers.

Massimo D’aversa, an engineer, said, “I was very moved. Because the ballet, which is fantastic, is paired with an orchestra that plays with great mastery, and so the combination of the two arts truly captivated me. I’m also a musician, so I found a complete show from every point of view. It’s very, very, very acrobatic, which is truly extraordinary.”

“Especially thanks to the musicians, who were also fantastic. So it’s really a combination of music, choreography, dance, everything. All a perfect mix, in perfect harmony,” said Sonia Muratore, a pharmacist.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture from before communism, through classical Chinese dance and music.

Ms. Muratore said, “I think that China, before this period of communism, was certainly a wonderful China. Let’s hope it can return to how it was before.”

Gaetano Cuomo, a physician, said, “It’s a very, very interesting show, very interesting, conveying important messages. Both at the beginning and at the end of the show, the message is very clear: tradition, your own thoughts, and composure towards others, with kindness, with a strong faith in goodness.”

Mr. D’aversa said, “They have my deepest admiration, for me they are extraordinary. It’s a show that demonstrates there are people who, for more than 20 years I think, have dedicated their soul and body to this art. The musicians, too.”

Shen Yun has now concluded its 2026 European Tour and will return with a whole new production next year.
