This was a fun night of classical Chinese dance. I don't know anything about classical dance, and it's really not as hard to appreciate as Chinese opera. In any case, they give you the Cliff Notes for each performance. It's a sampler from various regions.
They use a projected background, with computer animation, and integrate it into the live action on the stage. At first, it feels a bit tacky like those kung-fu tv shows, but this is a travelling show and it's nicely done... even the karaoke parts? Yes, even the karaoke parts....
Oh, and the best part... tickets from mybart.org. Good seats, too! Mom & I bought sandwiches from Jenjon's Cafe before getting on bart, and ate them downstairs at the Opera House.
