We went to one of Shalin Liu's screenings of Metropolitan Opera (Enchanted Island), and we had a wonderful time.

The Shalin Lui venue provides Rockport with a reason to visit after dark. The concerts, the Live broadcasts of theater and Operas,along with talent from near and far make for an enjoyable evening of entertainment. The interior of the venue is a delight to the eye,as the acoustics are ears. Sublime indeed!

Not only was the concert wonderful, but the design of the concert hall is such that you have the whole ocean before you as you are listening to the music. I had a very enjoyable evening.
