More than Just a Pretty Show: Chinese New Year Spectacular at Radio City February 14 - 17
New York City, NY (PRWeb) February 14, 2007 -- New Year's Day comes twice this year when NTDTV once again brings its gala celebration of the Lunar New Year to Radio City Music Hall February 14-17 (http://shows.ntdtv.com).
NTDTV's Chinese New Year Spectacular has been touring North America since early January, but the show at Radio City takes the production to a new level with many of the performances making their world premiere, a 45-piece live orchestra in the pit and a company of over 200 dancers, vocalists, and instrumentalists on stage.
After seeing our production of half this size in California, The San Francisco Chronicle responded, "New Tang Dynasty Television's 'Chinese New Year Spectacular' has spectacle to spare - and a mission to lift the spirits"
Cyril Dabydeen, Professor in English Literature at The University of Ottawa and Juror for the Governor General's Award for Literature said, "It was tremendous; it was one of the best shows I've seen at the National Art Center. It's wonderful, superb, beautiful choreography, beautiful soprano singing. I enjoyed it immensely."
The show is truly a medley of cultures and themes incorporating elements of ancient Chinese legends, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, traditional folk dances of China's different ethnicities, as well as more contemporary stories of Falun Gong which esteems traditional Chinese values but is currently being persecuted in China.
At Radio City you will see the heroes of Chinese lore, elegant court ladies in opulent Tang fashions, lovely heavenly maidens, energetic drummers, and much, much more.
The civilization of the Tang Dynasty was so magnificent that many believe it could only have been divinely inspired. It is fitting, then, that the 2007 Chinese New Year Spectacular opens with an original "dance drama" in which a Buddha surrounded by angels and fairy maidens gazes down at our world. Deciding to bring virtue to mankind, he descends to the mortal realm as a Tang Emperor, a Son of Heaven. The use of high-tech multimedia will make the audience feel as though they, too, are traveling through the clouds from heaven to earth. From there, the audience is taken on a beautiful and inspiring journey of song and dance like they have never experienced before.
February 14-17, 2007 (2 shows daily, 11am and 8pm)
Radio City Music Hall
1260 6th Avenue @ 50th Street
