Shen Yun inleder 2025 års Europaturné i Italien | NTD NYHETER

New York-based Shen Ying begins its highly anticipated 2025 European tour with Italy as its first destination. On Christmas Day, after a transatlantic flight, artists of Shen Ying Performing Arts arrived at Milan Malpensa Airport. They were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of fans with cheers and flowers. We've been busy rehearsing over the past six months, all in preparation to present a brand new program for everyone. We've also been eagerly looking forward to seeing our European audience again, so I'm really thrilled. I'm very excited, and I know that Italy is very steeped in history and culture from all ranges of genre, so I'm very honored to be here. Every time I come to Europe, I'm always so inspired by how beautiful it is and by the history, so I really hope that through our performances, I can give some of that back to the audience. The name Shen Ying can be translated as the beauty of divine beings dancing. Through music and dance, Shen Ying aims to revive the glory of divinely inspired Chinese culture. This relationship between Shen Ying's art and spirituality was also explained by the artist. I think that art itself exists to glorify the divine. In ancient Italian art, especially during the Renaissance, this characteristic is especially prominent. Shen Ying is essentially doing the same thing, reviving tradition. I also hope that through our performances, we can inspire people's inherent kindness and their divine nature within. You could say our music is divinely inspired. It's got these melodies that are told directly from the perspective of portraying all of these traditional, like I said, ethnic dances or traditional stories. According to the artist, the audience can expect to obtain profound benefits from watching a Shen Ying performance. I think since Shen Ying shows the very spiritual side of Chinese culture, it sort of gives people that hope or that inspiration to find that goodness in themselves again. A sense of hope, a sense of hope, a sense of the future that will be brighter and brighter and are really joyful. It's a really joy. It's really joyful, Shen Ying. As Shen Ying's Italian tour approaches, Italy's political leaders have extended their warm greetings. Federico Rocca, Councilor of Rome, says, quote, another extraordinary tour of Shen Ying is about to begin in our country. They will surely amaze Italian audiences once again with their artistry and mastery. I am very moved by their arrival. It is a great joy that I feel in my heart, this hope that they will bring here to Italy. A message that we very often hear from the audience is that it's a show that changes their lives. This show brings them great hope and they are really very happy to see it again year after year. Over the next five months of the 2025 tour season, Shen Ying will perform for more than 600,000 people across 14 European countries. Beginning in Florence, Italy, audiences in 61 cities will have the opportunity to experience Shen Ying's marvel firsthand.
