Divine Performing Arts Tour Ends Successfully in New Zealand
 

On April 19, 2008, Divine Performing Arts successfully completed a third show in Auckland. Also known as "the city of sails," Auckland has experienced a wave of enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture, since the arrival of Divine Performing Arts' global tour.

As Kelly, one of the show's MCs, greeted the audience with "Kia ora", the entire theater was filled with joy. Each time curtains were reopened, whether the backdrop displayed the magnificent world in the heavens, or a scenic picture of the 'home of water' in Jiangnan, the poetic atmosphere was greeted with waves of applause. The skillful techniques of the dancers, and moving voices of the soloists deeply touched Chinese and Western audience members in Auckland, and amazed them with the beauty of traditional Chinese culture.
