Remind me never to go to a matinee ever again - the small male child sitting behind me was particularly irritating.
But what a fun production! The Queen of the Night's second aria was fab, though I think being waaaay up in the sky cramped her style - and voice - during the first. Papageno was cute as a button. The lads looked lovely in tights. The whole thing was tremendously lively - though perhaps they played it for laughs a bit too much at times.
Tafelmusik were delightful.
On Saturday I finally heard Gianandrea Noseda for the first time, conducting the TSO in Scheherazade, and I was very impressed. Why they did a "casual" concert on a Saturday night is beyond me though: the band always looks so much nicer dressed formally since some of them have no clothes sense whatsoever.
Afterwards, I strolled past the Four Seasons Centre. The great lantern of the City Room glowed gloriously in the night.
