Event Date: May 2 (1PM & 6PM), May 3 (3PM)
What is Shen Yun, exactly? It’s more than just a performance. It’s a revival of China’s 5000 years of magnificent culture before communism – a time when scholars and artists sought harmony with the Tao and when divine beings walked the earth to inspire humanity.
Exquisite beauty from the heavens, profound wisdom from dynasties past, timeless legends, and ethnic traditions all spring to life through classical Chinese dance, a live East–West orchestra, original music, vibrant costumes, and patented animated backdrops that transport you to another world.
Each scene unfolds like a vivid painting, filled with breathtaking color, clarity, emotion, and a few fun surprises. It’s an experience that will delight your senses, inspire your heart, and just leave you feeling great.
From May 2 to 3, SHEN YUN will return to Civic Opera House to perform all-new 2026 programs.
Join us for a night filled with beauty, wisdom, courage, and hope. Witness Heaven’s beauty on stage and experience the magic of Shen Yun – LIVE.
