(Clearwisdom.net) After the first stop in Duisburg, Germany, the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) Chinese Spectacular arrived in Frankfurt and staged a performance in Jahrhunderthalle on February 16, 2008. The show was warmly welcomed and audience members were visibly happy after watching it.
Extensive media coverage spreads the word about DPA
During the last couple of months, the DPA advertisement showing a dancer's flying posture was seen everywhere in Frankfurt. A few days before the show, RTL and SAT1 TV stations carried introductions to the show during prime time. Leading newspapers FAZ (Frankfurt's main newspaper) and Frankfurter Rundschau also carried reports on the DPA show and the performers. The Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular has become popular in Frankfurt, the financial center of Germany.
Recknagel, the host organizer, told the reporter before the performance that ticket sales for the first show in Frankfurt were very good and there were people buying tickets even minutes before curtain time.
Divine Performing Arts Orchestra arrives in Germany
The Divine Performing Arts Orchestra arrived in Frankfurt one day before the show. Dr. Qian Yuejun, General Editor of Europe China Guidance said emotionally, "During last decade, I have never seen any Chinese art performance in Europe with such a big orchestra to accompany it. The strength and scale of Divine Performing Arts is amazing."
Dr. Qian said, "The DPA show spreads Chinese traditional culture and plays an important role in re-establishing China's moral values. DPA is a pioneer in promoting Chinese culture and virtues in the world."

The wonderful performance of DPA won applause again and again. Ms. Helga Skolik, Vice Mayor of Wiesbaden, said after the show, "The show brought people back in time, to several thousands years ago. All I can say is that it's very good. I feel that all Chinese people should watch the show."
Regarding the program describing the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Skolik said, "Seeing those ladies in prison, I felt like I was close to them. Last year I went to China. People there do not have freedom. There is long way to go. People there still live in oppression."
