BERKELEY, Calif.—Reverend Richard McNeely, along with others, journeyed through 5,000 years of history, thanks to Shen Yun Performing Arts’ digital backdrop technology. The company performed from Jan. 10 through Jan. 12 in Berkeley, California.
Kay Bell, president of Salmon Bay Barge Line, described the performance as entertaining.
“I was amazed at the special effects, and it was very entertaining,” he said.
Former Air Force Officer Michael Boehm enjoyed the “3-dimensional effects of the background” along with the visuals and music.
“How the sleeves of the dancers’ gowns sort of expanded,” said Mr. Boehm.
“The orchestra was absolutely amazing, and so I loved it,” he added.
“Turns out, I clearly overshot not having come sooner. It’s really, very impressive,” said Mr. Newton.
“It’s got to be a tough road to hold these days, but a very important one—to bring back anything ancient that’s being downtrodden these days is very important to Western civilization,” said Mr. McNeely. “We get it from the east.”
Dave Galli, CFO at Contra Costa Electric, said, “I think particularly with what’s going on in the world over the last 5 years or so that faith and the goodness that you really want in people is something that’s good about the show.”
“Very uplifting, and it seems like good morals in that,” he said.
“They really resonate,” said Mr. McNeely.
“They’re part of the human soul, and the performance just really demonstrates that and reaches out and grabs you by the heart. It was wonderful,” he said.
