That’s ok. I noticed too but was reveling in my praise to much to say anything.
I’m also adept at switching my too/to’s.
screech-owl!
I’m sorry, I should have included you in my wistful sighs over being envied. I meant you, too, I just didn’t write it that way. Please forgive me!!
This whole thread is about people envying me!! It’s still a foreign concept to me.
Okay, you’re forgiven.
[sub]only if you take me to the concert < j/k >[/sub]
Forgiven, and I’m still jealous.
Hey, do they charge for concert programs? If not, would you snag an extra one for me and I could pretend I went?!?!
ROFL
Okay, okay…
The only other time I’ve been to the CSO was when the Vienna Symph. Orch. was visiting, so I don’t know if they charge for programs or not. If they are free, I actually remember in April to nab an extra one, I will do so!
[sub]I can’t believe I’m agreeing to this, next thing you know, I will be making my way outta there with stack of programs for all the Verdi doper-fans! Lordy, I must really be desperate for friends.[/sub]
Name the year you want!
Ehhh…we’ve got a better choir… 
And if you think it’s loud in the audience, try standing next to the bass drum sometime. :eek:
Who are the soloists? I’ve been to/been in too many concerts ruined by a bad soloist, that I tend to check carefully before buying the tickets.
For jr8:
Deborah Voigt, soprano
Violeta Urmana, mezzo-soprano
Johan Botha, tenor
René Pape, bass
I’ve heard good things about D. Voight, from my composer-BF. Between now and April 24th, I hope to find a bit of info on these soloists. Do you know of anything, good or bad? They can’t be too terrible if they’re singingin with the CSO & Chorus.

How about a '83? I’ve heard that was a good year for champagne, but rather hard to find now. shrug My alcoholic knowledge leans more to wines than champagnes, so I stick with what little good I know is out there.
Melpomene, I sing with the Arizona State University Choral Union. Despite the name, it’s a community choral group. We sing with the Phoenix Symphony (actually, for reasons I won’t discuss here, we won’t be singing with them again for quite a while, if ever again) and the ASU Symphony. Gammage is an on-campus auditorium where the ASUSO performs.
Sounds like fun, strainger, I wish I could sing well enough to be with a group that has a fancy name like that!
I’m sorry to hear that something has arisen that means you guys won’t be singing with the Phoenix Symphony again. That’s too bad. 
My grandparents live outside Phoenix, so if I visit them anytime soon, I will try to remember finding you and checking out your choral group. You must be pretty decent if you got to sing with a big city symphony.
