Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats Perform Ancient Acrobatics From The Orient
Napa, CA- Performances by the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats have been called "incredible," "breathtaking," "stunning," and "quite unbelievable," to quote just a few of the critics. This dynamic troupe has taken the world by storm and will continue to do so during their 28th North American Theatre Tour with two shows at the Napa Valley Opera House on Saturday, September 29 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 and $25.
Produced by IAI Presentations, Inc., the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats offer more than a glimpse into the fascinating Orient. Their performances consist of sensational Chinese acrobatics, balancing feats, martial arts displays and much more. A truly Oriental spectacular and a show for all ages, the grace and precision of the acrobats are the triumph of years of dedicated training and discipline, but their art has been formed by centuries of tradition. Chinese acrobatics are in fact much more than just a series of stunts. Most of these acts clearly demonstrate the achievement of perfection through finding harmony between mind and body ~ an ancient concept in the Orient.
This sensational group has performed throughout South America, Central America, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Monte Carlo, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, Canada and the United States. In the early days they burst upon the American stage, appearing with celebrities such as Liberace while playing casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno. Besides appearing on many TV specials, the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats have also been seen on the Family Channel’s “Home & Family Show,” hosted by Christina Ferrari, KTLA’s “Good Morning ~ LA,” New York One News, CNN where they were interviewed by Christiane Amanpour and Calgary’s “Big Breakfast” morning show on the A-Channel.
During their annual sold-out theatre tours, the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats astound audiences with their incredible talents night after night, in city after city. The overwhelming response of the audience is a testament to the popularity of their unique brand of entertainment. The performers enjoy traveling the world, sharing their ancient art with audiences young and old. From major performing arts venues to colleges and universities, this versatile and fun attraction thrills audiences with their death-defying dexterity and skill!
