Think you did better in the stands. We were row 25 center floor and got the full on blast of everything. Love what the lighting designer did - it made the show for me; especially the first part. The Cajun singer was indecipherable (sigh). The Opera singer was good with all the high notes, but the best IMHO was the new young guy. Good voice and not forced. Loved the piano challenge bit. I really like what they do to a classical piece of music -- making it approachable and interesting. The Alexander Nevsky piece was WOW!
Happy b'day to Moriven. Now back to baking the turkey.
