This holiday season will present to New York a unique and stunning theatrical experience that presents the reawakening of an ancient culture alongside world class talent that is the best of the west.

Have you ever wanted to know more about China's vast, rich, ancient, yet elusive culture? Or perhaps felt an innate yet inexplicable curiosity about this mystical land of prophecy, wisdom, divine beings, dragons and warriors spanning back 5000 years? "Holiday Wonders" is steeped in the essence of this wondrous culture, unique in that it bypasses the political restraints that have silenced the genuine expression of China's semi-divine culture for over half century. This event is truly one of a kind.

This holiday season treasure is created and performed by the incredible artists who have presented the acclaimed Chinese New Year Spectacular to audiences around the world for the past three years. Performances will be held at the gorgeous national landmark Beacon Theater.

The Chinese New Year Spectaculars presented by this artistic team over the past three years have elicited audible sounds of "oooo"s and "aaahh"s from audience members who have been enthralled by the almost tangible experience of the exquisite costumes, colors and stage design perfectly harmonized with music and performance into a totally captivating, moving experience.

From time to time, a theatrical creation blooms that is unlike anything that has been seen. Cirque du Soleil comes to mind, as it illuminated audience members with something they had never before experienced. This is that same type of phenomenon, being a deeper, more intimate, classical form. Audiences have related that it leaves one with a sense of the heart and mind having been cleansed with the purity of ancient culture.

Holiday Wonders will also present some world class western artists as well, including Giora Feidman, winner of the Academy Award along with Itzhak Perlman for the music from "Schindler's List". Mr. Feidman is a master clarinettist whose innovative interpretations span a wide range of musical genres, styles and time periods.

Holiday Wonders presents ancient cultural wonders that have been revived after a long period of obscurity. This one of a kind theatrical treasure is a must see.
