Went to watch the concert performance of Mozart's Le Nozzle di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) at the Esplanade Concert Hall. It was performed by the world renown Vienna State Opera and Conducted by Seiji Ozawa.
I was so excited when I saw this perfomance in sistic website. The ticket was expensive even though it was student price, but the concert was GREAT! The only minus point was my seat is behind the performers... the orchestra was right below. When the prchestra is playing, I can't really hear the singers as they are singing towards the hall, I was behind, that's why.. But then, I think the performers realised that there are audiences at the back so, they sort of change their position at times, and we could hear much better and the subtitle screen was in front. Haha... =X Seriously the performance was good. I should learn up some Italian.. haha.. =X
The booklet is 'classy'. haha..!
I was a little surprised to see the concert go-ers all in formal attire. Female in dresses and Men in suits, some w/o the coat but with a tie. Luckily I wasn't wearing jeans and shirt. lols.. but blouse and pants.. lols.. coz I went straight from work. There were only a few youngsters like me (very few). Weird, but there are quite a number of Japanese, maybe they are fans of the conductor.. haha..=X
Anywayz, I was glad that I decided to go for the concert, despite the price and having to go alone. The performance is worth it. =D
