Maestro Gomez led the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (TSO) through an astounding performance of the overture to Der Meistersinger followed by several of Wagner's leider. Then came Beethoven's 9th symphoby with an 80-member chorus.
All of it was world-class. The ovation was rousing but I was surprised to see many did not recognize the quality of the experience. Oh, well.
I hooted, hollered and coaxed a few more to their feet by shouting, "If you're not standing, you don't know what you just heard.
Packed house.
Dinner was Japanese at Yoshimotu. It was WAY over-rated. An example of people applauding too loudly out of lack of experience. We're slowly learning not to rely on other peoples' reviews. But the stout beer was good and we had a splendid time discussing the performance.
She then hung on the last minutes of the score between the 49ers & the Texas somebodies. Myself, I pride in having gotten through life with only about ten minutes of football; soccer, maybe 45.
A wonderful day!
You put on the braggadocio a little thick, I think it is always good to be aware of ones own 'all we like sheep". I am happy you had a wonderful day!
