Musical performance bridges China & Vatican

His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has been quoted by the Catholic News Service as pointing out that the musical performance staged by China Phiharmonic Orchestra and Shanghai Opera House Chorus 2 days ago helped put the audience "in touch, as it were, with the living reality of the world of China" and helped them better understand "the history of the Chinese people, their values and (also) their noble aspiration".
