This post is dedicated to the performers who travelled from Beijing to New Brunswick, New Jersey. They put up a great show in the State Theatre.
Today, 1/31/2009, I am travelling to New Brunswick to State Theatre to watch a Chinese New Year performance by 华夏中文学校 or Huaxia Chinese School. They have put up a performance by bring dancers, singers and popular Chinese figures to New Jersey. The performers have travelled 3,000 miles from Beijing to perform at the State Theatre.One of the performers called Jing Tan performed At the Eastern Mountain. She has also performed at this year's China Central Television Spring Festival performance two weeks ago.
The Huaxia Chinese school choir began the show with three encores to warm up the crowd. The intro was memorable, but my favorite was the Beijing Opera and the Talk show for a New Year's blessing. Of course this the talk show was in Chinese.There were two comedians and they would act out famous people's voices and entertain the crowd. Their entertainment was the best part of the 华夏之夜 performance.
The Beijing Opera was also entertaining because I got to enjoy an excerpt of Madam Mu Guiyang. It was a famous story of a female general in China. I loved their costuming because I always wanted to see those shows.
The singing was also entertaining because the singers had the most beautiful voices. One of the singers was Jing Tan. She conducted a successful solo concert in 2006 in the Viennese Gold Hall. She is considered one of the best soloists today in China.
This show was shown every year in New Jersey. Last year it was in the Trenton Memorial theatre and this year in New Brunswick State Theatre. I really enjoy the show and I know that any who understands the Chinese language will understand it as well.
