Brilliant. Inspiring. Glorious.

Shen Yun Performing Arts offers an exhilarating world-class production that celebrates the excellence and grandeur of classical Chinese dance and music. It draws inspiration from the legends, values, and spirit that defined traditional Chinese culture for centuries.

In 2009 Shen Yun delighted over 700,000 live audience members in near 100 cities with more than 300 shows. This year its annual tour is back with all new programs and expected to have more than 400 shows worldwide. Shen Yun is coming to Chicago at the Civic Opera House April 10 & 11.

Weaving a wondrous story of heavenly realms, enchanting dreams, and the classic struggle between good and evil, the show's breathtaking pageantry evokes themes of virtue, compassion, and courage which have lain at the heart of China's culture since antiquity. Story-based dances portray topics ranging from ancient tales of valor to modern-day epics such as that of Falun Dafa. Following the tragic erosion of traditional Chinese culture under decades of Chinese communist rule, New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts endeavors to rediscover a lost artistic and cultural heritage. Marvel at fresh new dances intermingled with old favorites, featuring a superb cast of dozens of leading dancers, singers, and musicians. You will be spellbound by the brilliant choreography, stunning costumes, and state-of-the-art dynamic backdrops. Here's your chance to savor an uplifting, enriching experience that has charmed and delighted people of all ages, Western and Asian alike.

"I will give this production 5 stars"

Richard Connema, critic for Talkin' Broadway and seasoned theater patron said, "I probably have reviewed over 3 to 4 thousand shows since 1942. A lot of reviewers use stars... I will give this production 5 stars. That's the top," he said..."I've never seen anything like that. I've seen enough Broadway shows that still cannot compare to what I saw tonight. The best word to use was "mind blowing". And I watched around the audience and they all were so involved with everything going on.

Carmen Ungureanu

"Today, I finally experienced how wonderful classical Chinese dance is."

Carmen Ungureanu is the winner of multiple awards. She is an acclaimed artist and has performed in Vienna, Paris, Spain, London, Canada, New York City and many other places in the world.
