This is a delightful music and dance presentation presented every year at the Oakland Temple Hill. It is free of charge, but donations are requested.
I enjoy the lines, and the expression of emotion through dance. I told Tony to watch for the dancer looking like the picture, and we actually saw several.
The presentation starts with Old Testament predictions of a Messiah, and then we see Joseph and Mary, and the anguish they both have of her being betrothed, yet with child through the Holy Ghost. The nativity is well done, with she shepherds coming to see the Lord. The atonement was also well done, showing the angel who supported Jesus in Gethsemane, and the woman at the tomb.
The mood of the second portion is much different, with the lighting and the dancing being of a different nature. Samuel must have been skilled at gymnastics with the handstands and the tumbling incorporated into his dance. The believers and those who threatened to put them to death if the sign were not fulfilled is very well done. The darkness, and then the people restoring their town, followed by them reacting to the Savior coming were also well done.
I also enjoyed the finale, with dancers from both continents dancing for joy at the atonement of the Savior.
This show is less than 50 minutes, with no intermission. It is beautiful to behold. I love the lines that were presented. I find it beautiful.
There is one more presentation this year, Sunday at7.
