Australian City Mayor Applauds Shen Yun: ‘We Are So Proud to Have You Here’

Shen Yun continued its Australia tour in Toowoomba, up in the sunshine state Queensland, on May 3 and 4. Paul Antonio, mayor of the Toowoomba regional council, was honored to have Shen Yun perform at the Empire Theatre. “You’ve bought something special to our community but we also have this very special place called the Empire Theatre, we’re terribly proud of that,” Antonio said. Antonio was especially proud of the MC and the soprano, who both hail from the Toowoomba region. “The MC, the young man who originally came from this area, did a wonderful job,” Antonio said. “Our local lady, Rachel the soprano, was absolutely beautiful. We’re very proud of her. But the standard tonight was so high, it was so entertaining, and of course that’s the very reason that the Empire Theatre tonight was packed.”
