Renowned artist Jean-Michel Bouchardy and his wife

Mr. Jean-Michel Bouchardy is a famous painter and sculptor, as well as a well-known wall mural and glass painter. The colorful glass in Saint George Church in Geneva is his work. His wife Huguette Bouchardy is also a painter. They watched the Spectacular and were moved by the artistry.

Mr. Bouchardy said, "My whole life is in art. From the point of view of art, I can only use the word 'perfect' to describe this show. Spectacular!" His wife expressed a similar view.

Franck Lamoureux, chief auditor of the Olympic International Bank, said after watching the show, "The show is very good, especially the erhu performance. It was surprising that the erhu music was melodious. I also liked the drumming. The performance was touching."

His colleague said, "This show is a great mix of dance and music. It told stories from Chinese history with deep inner meaning. They were very interesting. I also learned a lot about Chinese culture and art from the show."

Art designer Max Heir said after watching the show, "The performers are very young and professional, which left a deep impression on me. The choreography is especially innovative. The dance, music, and costumes are beautiful and colorful. I especially like the song lyrics. I did not know much about Chinese culture before. Watching the show taught me some Chinese history. I also got to hear how Chinese singers can sing in Chinese using a Western style."

He continued, "The show displays Chinese traditional and modern culture, and merges them ingeniously. For example, in the signing, piano was used to accompany, but the lyrics carry ancient meanings. The modern and ancient merged perfectly."

Nicolas and his wife Oula are in the jewelry business. Nicolas said he had never watched a Chinese show live before, only on TV. He said, "I liked the program 'A Dunhuang Dream.' In this world we need imagination and dreams."

His wife Oula said, "This show is fantastic. It is very good to spread Chinese culture with dance and songs. It is innovative to promote Chinese culture across the world with art."
