ROSEMONT, Ill.—Joel Carlsen, vice president for a large financial company, and hair salon owner Lina Carlsen were amazed by Shen Yun at the Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois on April 30.
“I loved it. Everything about it from costumes to the music and the performance and colors and history,” said Mrs. Carlsen.
The performance also exceeded Mr. Carlsen’s expectations.
“I didn’t know what to expect coming in … it was an experience that I wasn’t prepared for in a good way,” he said, “it was extremely unique, creative, clever, wonderful, passionate … a spectacular performance.”
Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company. Along with presenting classical Chinese dance and solo performances, the production depicts story-based pieces that tell tales from ancient times to the modern-day.
