Below Is the program from last night. We were in a fabulous spot Orchestra A6 & 8, and were joined by two short ladies on either side after intermission.
The first piece, Opus 19 was just the sort of Dance I like.
I could have done without Glass Pieces. Not only was the music monotonous but the dance didn’t make up for it.
