She said, "I feel that (the show) brings art to life. The dances were extremely beautiful. The costumes were exquisite and graceful. It takes you to another place from where you are. It seemed to lead you to leave the common day and it's like going to another dimension."

Dianne said that though the show was not presented in her native language, it was translated. With explanations from the hosts and translations of lyrics shown on the screen, she could understand the stories involved.

She summarized her feelings about the show by saying, "One of the things that touched me about the performance tonight was the values. We read the translation (on the screen). I felt its kindness and compassion. When the tenor sang, I wanted to find out more about the message he delivered. I seldom get to learn much about Chinese culture, but the show was so beautiful, so moving, and so visual. There was also peacefulness to it. I really enjoyed it. This was an entirely new experience."
