NEW YORK -"I thought the show was beautiful in every way," said Dr. Kirit Bharia after seeing Divine Performing Arts Chinese New Year Splendor on Saturday at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"Everything was beautifully done, and I really appreciated all the work that went into the show. The artists really have worked hard on the show."

Dr. Kirit Bharia, who is from India, felt a sense of familiarity with the show.

"It was very similar to Indian culture," he said of the Chinese culture he saw on stage. "Especially about the belief they have about the divine."

The Chinese New Year Splendor conveys 5000 years of authentic Chinese culture and history, through song, music, and classical Chinese dance performances.

The Chinese New Year Splendor concludes its run in New York on Saturday night, Feb. 9. For information on this and other shows in the Divine Performing Arts world tour, please visit: www.DivinePerformingArts.org . The Epoch Times is a proud sponsor of the Chinese New Year Splendor.
