Perhaps it was because the "band" was off to the audience' left while the singers were center stage…a weird aural disconnect.<br /><br />We were seated directly under some VERY annoying fans in the back row center section which really interfered with the performance.<br /><br />The "hall" was more appropriate for this "opera" than most but the sound was not pleasant, the music was not quite "with it" and I've seen all of this show than I need for the rest of my life.<br /><br />If upcoming performances in this space are as sparse, that'll be it for us.<br /><br />MPSMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824506789033180592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403568589757394965.post-44291700756957273962013-10-14T11:10:50.835-07:002013-10-14T11:10:50.835-07:00Once again, I find myself in violent agreement wit...Once again, I find myself in violent agreement with you, Jay.
