Following the success of previous seasons, Shen Yun – Pre-Communist China, the dance company that celebrates China's rich cultural heritage, returns.
After sold-out performances in recent seasons, Shen Yun returns with an all-new production. In ancient China, people believed their magnificent culture was a gift from Heaven. Art was a means of exploring humanity's connection to higher realms.
Today, Shen Yun revives this tradition. Through the universal language of dance and music, it weaves a stunning tapestry of heavenly paradises, ancient legends, and modern tales of courage, taking you on a 5,000-year journey through authentic Chinese culture.
Shen Yun cannot be seen in today's China, where traditional culture has been destroyed by decades of communist rule. Yet, Shen Yun Performing Arts, a non-profit company based in New York, is rediscovering the wonders of this ancient civilization for millions of people around the world. The performance's extraordinary beauty and enormous energy inspire and deeply move audiences.
Program and cast
Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano
The Teatro degli Arcimboldi is a theatre and opera house in Milan which was built over a twenty-seven month period in anticipation of the closure and subsequent nearly three-year long renovation of Milan's La Scala opera house in December 2001. It is located 4.5 miles from the city centre in an abandoned Pirelli tire factory, in an area known as Bicocca.[1]
Designed by Vittorio Gregotti working with architects Mario Botta and Elisabetta Fabbri, the fan-shaped 2,375 seat auditorium, created on two levels, was planned to allow for the continuation of La Scala's 2001/2002 opera season and it was inaugurated with a performance of Verdi's La traviata on 19 January 2002.
An unfortunate accident closed the theatre for seventeen days in February 2001, but it reopened and became the La Scala company's venue until the renovated opera house reopened on its traditional day, 7 December, in 2004.
Performances of many different types of music are still given at the Arcimboldi.
