Tonight at 8 p.m. and again tomorrow at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., you can sample a world-class display of Chinese culture at the Chinese New Year Spectacular, at the Temple Buell Theatre in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. A forty-piece orchestra will accompany over sixty dancers, singers and solo musicians performing classical, ethnic, folk and story-based dance pieces. “This is a wonderful show that people of all ages really enjoy,” enthuses Andy Ellsmore of the Colorado Chinese Media Association. “There’s a large component of Chinese classical dance, a lot of acrobatic and aerial-type maneuvers, really extraordinary costumes and an LCD-screen backdrop that’s interactive with the performers.”
The show, presented by New York-based Divine Performing Arts, is on its second visit to Denver. Tickets are $35 to $90 and available at www.ticketswest.com, at all King Soopers locations or by calling 1-866-464-2626. For more information, visit www.divineperformingarts.org.
