By luck or by chance, I found myself attending the concert... both my friend and I weren't aware about the ballot thing, and how lucky we were to get the tickets because my friend's colleague whom my friend got the tickets from, couldn't make it.
We saw band performance, Russell Watson (yes, he's very handsome), the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with the very "yau yeng" conductor Mike Moran who switched from piano to conducting from time to time, and of course fireworks at the end of the concert
I don't know how it's like for everyone, but when I looked at people around me, seems like the more senior audience were enjoying the performance more. There's this uncle sitting behind us tapping his leg to the rhythm and singing along for the song Volare. He had a good voice and was singing out loudly. To my right, there's this old lady who moved her head/body to the songs... and we could see that she was singing along for Feniculi Fenicula.
It was an open-air concert, supposed to be quite grand, our YDP Agong and PM were there for the whole concert, though it drizzled towards the end of the show.
Russell Watson's performance was perfect, his voice was enchanting, he also danced and did a small rendition of "singing in the rain" when it drizzled. To be honest, before this I didn't know him at all although he's the most famous Tenor in UK?
The orchestra was great, and I enjoyed Mike Moran's conducting, and the way he conducted with one hand and played the piano with the other. Somehow piano players still captures my attention more...
Fireworks were of course fantastic... it was like an early Christmas and New Year celebration.
What should I say... a great concert indeed...
