Notes
Sigh, seated off-center again, ah well, at least I was up close instead of off in the balcony!
As might be guessed by anyone familiar with the night's repertoire, the performances are lush and syrupy-sweet. Might not be so great for a steady musical diet, but for an evening's dessert, it's a fine treat!
