Classical Christmas Performance

I bought tickets awhile ago for this production.

Thought I'd get us all in the mood for Christmas with an evening out and it was absolutely wonderful.

It was a ladies night out and even though I think the older ones might have preferred a simple Christmas hymn sing, I broadened their horizons with this classical production.

The children's choir filed in holding candles and singing "Ihr Kinderlein Kommet" - one of our family favourites.

There were some fabulous, well known opera pieces that were incredibly well performed plus a wonderful Chopin piece performed on the piano.

I'm a bit of a secret opera lover and this evening did not disappoint.

Tante Hilda told me on the way home that Elsie and I were at least as good if not better on the piano when we played.

I begged to differ but did not argue.

Wondering if perhaps I overshot by taking her to this somewhat costly classical performance when she is happier listening to Elsie and I play and sing, but whatever.

  

Thankfully the evening ended with some carol singing that we could join in on.

It was simply blissful and I'm so glad I could be engulfed in the color and sounds of Christmas on this rainy November night.

Joy to the world...
