The music was fantastic. The singers, the tenors, the baritones, soprano were great. Lots of power in their voices.”

羅德．史賓德勒，觀眾：

「它真的非常獨特而且與眾不同。背景極其華麗，而且能夠配合現場的演出者同時變動，實在酷斃了！我認為這很棒。音樂美極了，歌手們，包括男高音、男中音和女高音都唱得超好，他們的聲音充滿了力度。」

“Yes I am very lucky. I am very lucky to be able to see a performance like this in Taiwan. The dancers are amazing; the whole show was just incredible. I have never seen this kind of dance before, ever. The Chinese traditional dance. So it was very, very pleasing to be able to see that and experience it.”

一位觀眾蓋瑞史東說：「是啊！我實在太幸運了！我何其有幸能在台灣觀賞到像這樣的一場演出，舞者們令人驚艷，整場表演真的棒極了。我以前從來沒有觀賞過這一類中國傳統舞蹈的表演，這次能夠欣賞到並且體驗到，實在是非常非常的開心！」
