The 2-hour Shen Yun performance consists of about 20 pieces, moving from one story, region, and dynasty to the next. Stunning animated backdrops, exquisite handmade costumes, mesmerizing live orchestra music, high flying leaps, thunderous battle drums, and colorful ethnic and folk dances transport you to another world. The timeless stories are easy to understand, and bring joy and inspiration to children and adults of all backgrounds.

Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture.

This is an opportunity to experience a performance that will touch your soul.
Chinese dance is at the heart of what Shen Yun does.  Known for its incredible flips and spins, and its gentle elegance, it is one of the most rigorous and expressive art forms in the world.

 Location: Queen Elizabeth Theatre

Dates: January 23, 24, 25/14
