It’s very colorful.
The dance, the music, was very impressed
by the soprano that’s been singing tonight.
I like the deepness of not only the voice,
but also the lyrics.

I really enjoyed it.
It was both funny at different times.
It was stunningly beautiful.
I thought it had a lot of emotional resonance.
It was just a really interesting,
a really enjoyable performance.

It’s very educational in a sense to wider audience
because of the historical approach that it takes.
In other words, telling people,
showing people an impressive and straight
forward ways as well as very known periods
like Tang, Ming, and Qing Dynasty.

I think it’s a very important component of the human existence.
Without spirituality, what are we?
What makes us human beings?

When you see these beautiful movements and colors,
and music and all this and the lessons that behind this
I’m hopeful for humanity.

Even better than last year and I didn’t think that was possible.
