The show: 1) Orchestral Excerpts from Romeo et Juliette by Berlioz, 2) Le Temps L' Horloge for soprano and orchesta (with Renee Fleming) by Dutilleux, 3) Four songs (I don't want to write them out) with orchestra by Duparc (with Renee Fleming), and 4) La Mer by Debussy.

The seat: Orchestra, Row PP, Seat 9 ($37)

The hall itself is OLD. The floors are wooden, creaky, and uneven with faded red carpet runners along the main aisles. The floorboard space between rows is worn and discolored. The seats are wooden with leather cushioned tacked on and the seats aren't spring loaded so you have to remember to push it back up when you leave. And it's GORGEOUS. It reeks of history and has a sense of class and grandeur that comes with being a historical momument. The hall is narrow and deep with two (I think) 4 rowed balconies.

The sound is fantastic. It's so big, so full, so in your face (even in row PP) that you are almost startled. The best part of the wood was feeling the vibrations from the orchestra through your feet!!!

The most phenomenal thing was NOT ONE PERSON clapped between movements. Thank you, Jared. If not for you, I wouldn't be a "no-clapping-btwn-movements snob" and I probably would have gone for a standing ovation between each movement.

The show itself was spectacular. Renee Flemming was fantastic. Dutilleux was actually in house for this show, so you had this amazing standing ovation for the orchestra, the conductor, the soprano, and the composer all in one place. Magical.
