“It was beautiful. It was a privilege to see it. The dancing and the orchestra and the costumes, it was just a feast for the eyes,” said Ms. Alarcon, a retired Chief Petty Officer of the U.S. Navy.
“It was very enjoyable. I liked the choreography that they had with the music—the dancing and just the way that they moved so fluidly. It was just amazing just to sit there and watch their performance,” Mr. Alarcon said.
“I got emotional from the [dance, ‘The Steadfast Heart,’] and they’re saying that those things are happening right now in China. It’s hard to imagine that,” Mr. Alarcon said.
“I think that that’s a beautiful sentiment. I wish everybody could take that on, and I wish everybody could see this. And maybe that could bring people closer. I appreciate all the hard work by the artists to bring that forward,” Ms. Alarcon said.
“I really enjoyed the [erhu]. It was just amazing how she was able to get those tunes and sounds out of that instrument. The whole thing was very enjoyable, satisfying, and fulfilling. I’m so happy that we came,” Mr. Alarcon shared.
“The two singers that were there, it was just so beautiful, and their voices just carried—projected to the audience,” Mr. Alarcon commented.
