Live Performances Kick-Off the Largest Overseas Chinese New Year Show

The Myths and Legends of China Revealed in Chinese New Year Celebration February 20th at The Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectacular stage sceneries, lovely heavenly maidens and energetic drummers bring you a fascinating celebration called The Chinese New Year Spectacular -- the largest overseas Chinese New Year show. This cross-cultural inspirational presentation demonstrates a full range of theatrical talents that please the eye, excite the ear, and touch the heart. Early last year, Aaron Cohen, producer at WNYC Radio described this performance as: "Superb! Every performance was stunning ... Amazing, amazing, amazing." The stage, the costumes, the singers, the actors and actresses are all part of this colorful musical celebration that tells a tantalizing and fascinating story of China's culture.

The performing arts have never been so vibrant, so exciting, or as moving as in Myths and Legends, the "Global Chinese New Year Spectacular." Performers have been rehearsing for the huge dance ensembles, seamstresses have spent endless hours creating authentic costumes and set designers have been building fascinating backdrops for this unique event. World-class composers have scored an unusual combination of traditional and contemporary pieces exclusively for this performance. Westerners can enjoy live music accompanying theater. This will be the first occasion for a Chinese symphony orchestra to accompany a performance at the Atlanta Civic Center. Audiences will experience both the splendor of Western symphony and the style of Chinese folk instruments.

The Chinese New Year Spectacular is produced by New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV), an independent, nonprofit Chinese-language TV network. In 2004 NTDTV started celebrating the most important holiday of the Chinese people -- the Chinese New Year -- with a grand and unique show. It began in five cities (New York, Washington DC, Toronto, Taipei, and Hong Kong). The 2006 Spectacular was performed in 17 cities worldwide and was ranked 7th out of the top 10 shows by Billboard Magazine. The touring show will be seen in more than 28 cities around the world this year.
