Life-changing, awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping – these are only some of the words that audience members have used to describe their viewing of Shen Yun over the past two decades since its founding in 2006. This coming April 12th 2025, locals and visitors in San Diego, California get the chance to experience the same as Shen Yun performs in the San Diego Civic Theatre. Fans and first-time viewers of Shen Yun are all the more excited due to the choice of venue. Being the home of San Diego opera and ballet, the San Diego Civic Theatre boasts multiple seating options, a prime location in downtown San Diego, and its proven history in hosting successful shows in the same genre.
Get a glimpse of China’s culture and history before decades of communist rule, where ancient Chinese wisdom, infused with both Taoist and Buddhist spirituality and values, were instrumental in giving birth to innovations in several fields including medical breakthroughs, architecture, opera, dance, and even martial arts. In this revival, guests can expect to watch elegant scenes from reality and fictional tales or heroics taken from different periods of Chinese history which also shed light on today’s China in comparison, with some pieces touching on the oppression that many experience because of their spiritual beliefs, such as Falun Dafa. All in all, those who have witnessed Shen Yun can attest to how the show is a very touching and uplifting experience.
Shen Yun is a two-hour collection of 17-18 dance pieces, accompanied by a live complete orchestra in the pit with all-original music. The show, which audience can anticipate to be very much riveting from start to finish, performs classic Chinese dance pieces which contrary to common knowledge, is actually very different from ballet. Though you may assume that the Chinese dances presented are based on gymnastic or acrobatic styles, the truth is actually the other way around, as both practices were inspired by classical Chinese dance. This dance style is sure to evoke emotions in every viewer because of very expressive movements in this style, revealing the underlying personalities and feeling of each performer on stage.
