Hello Theater nerds and classmates alike. I hope you've had a wonderful week.
Tonight, Tonight I will be going to Bizet: Carmen presented by the University of Ottawa Opera Company with Chamber Orchestra. I don't know much about the show but I am excited none the less. My guess is that they will be preforming in the traditional we stand/sit here and play while you listen type of environment without elaborate sets or costumes but I could be completely wrong.
The last time I went to a strictly orchestral performance was longer ago then I would like to admit as I makes me feel old. It was while I was staying in France as my exchange partner played cello and her mother was first violin. It was lovely and I should go to classical productions more often. The way the instruments can tell a story without a word and the harmonies created by everyone playing in unison . Each instrument sound utterly different separately but together they speak as one. It gives me hope for the human race.
(wow can you tell I'm feeling metaphorical today.)
Anyway.... Have a wonderful night and I'll tell you how it goes later.
Elyse
