Le Cafe, 53 Elgin Street (Elgin at Queen)
Ottawa, Ontario

Divine Performing Arts: 2009 World Tour (formerly the Chinese New Year Spectacular) is an exhilarating world-class production that celebrates the pure excellence and grandeur of classical Chinese dance and music inspired by the myths, legends, and divine beauty of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.

In 2008 Divine Performing Arts dazzled over 600,000 live audience members in more than 60 cities on four continents. In 2007 Ottawa tickets sold out more than five weeks in advance.

Weaving a wondrous story of heavenly realms, enchanting dreams, and the classic battle between good and evil, the breathtaking pageantry evokes themes of virtue, compassion, courage, and hope at the heart of China’s divinely inspired culture from ancient Buddhist and Taoist traditions to modern-day epics such as Falun Dafa. Following the tragic erosion of traditional Chinese culture under decades of communist rule, New York-based Divine Performing Arts endeavours to rediscover and further elevate this artistic and cultural excellence in the modern world.

Marvel at fresh new programs intermingled with timeless classics featuring acclaimed artists and a superb cast of over 100 professional dancers, singers, and musicians. You will be spellbound by magnificent choreography, stunning costumes, and state-of-the-art dynamic backdrops. Savour this uplifting, educational experience that has charmed and delighted people of all ages, Western and Chinese alike.

Top 7th Internationally (New York show at Radio City Music Hall)
- Billboard magazine’s Boxscore ranking in February 2006

"The show is certainly a spectacle. The production values are grand in terms of costumes and scenic effects, and the performers are all very good-looking and meticulously disciplined." - Globe and Mail

"The most extraordinary cultural show I've ever seen and experienced... The nation’s capital is not an ordinary city anymore, but a top-class and world-class city, thanks to the Chinese New Year experience."  - Professor Cyril Dabydeen (distinguished writer and poet, University of Ottawa)

"The performance was of "the highest caliber I've seen, the most professional."

b_paq55

Looked that Divine Performing Arts causes the human to feel in the soul to be most sacred, the chastest part.

k_furlong

A lot of the comments here are doubled by different users. Example "I have to look at show,because I know this is best." is there a couple of times by different users. Seems to me that about 90% of the comments are probably by people from the show or supporters.
In sum, for Chinese tradition it is probably very good. Although Opera singing I would think belongs to Italy and not China. For me, I would pay to see a Cirque du Soleil show twice. I would not see this again for free and knowing what it is now I would not pay to see it once. Good marketing. Some spins were on heels instead of toes which led to imbalances and lack of control in some spins. There were a handful of flips, which I can't do but that any gymnast can perform ... see Cirque to be amazed. Seems if was promoting Falun Dafa / Falum Gong.
