I took myself Friday night to see the Colorado Symphony perform Dvorak’s New World. This is a new performance called Inside The Score. So the first half had narration, two actors, a large video screen, and even some old recordings while small pieces of the symphony were played. It was very helpful to have this background information, and explanation on Dvorak’s intentions.
After an intemission the entire Symphony was preformed as originally written.
It really was a fun night & I enjoyed learning something new. I purchased my ticket through Groupon and received a great rate. The Symphony was able to reach out to over 4,000 new people with the deep discount. I’m sure they will receive some new patrons and maybe even donors they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to reach. I love when technology can provide a win-win for everyone involved.
I’m going back in May for another performance and am really looking forward to it.
Update: I’m even considering buying a 2011-2012 Season pass to Inside The Score.
I had the pleasure last night to attend Chicago The Musical on Broadway. I figured if I was in Manhattan for work anyways I might as well take in a Broadway show. The show was certainly very good with amazing singing and great dancing. And who can go wrong with some handsome shirtless men! :)
