“Absolutely superb...The performance was one of a kind,” said Dr. Michael Otto, the owner of a distribution company.
“I found that the Chinese culture somehow transmitted divine influence and the spiritual. This is expressed extremely well throughout the performance,” he said.
“I'm certain that in the past there existed a high culture, which we have somehow lost. It is great that now, such culture is brought to our future,” Dr. Otto said.

“Formidable... You offer people such an excess of beauty and poetry,” said music and art teacher Beatrijs van Hulle.
“When in art, you really want to be on a high level. You have to make connections with the past, with traditions, and from there build renewal and then it becomes really grand art,” Ms. van Hulle said.
“Life is more than the material things...The soul is what will remain.”
“I am just grateful there is such a company,” she added.
