I've been on a bit of a concert spree it would seem although the two concerts could not have been more different! As many of you will have read, the week before last I attended the Queen + Adam Lambert concert and last Thursday I attended...Andrea Bocelli. I have a bit of a weird taste in music, I like pretty much everything including some good old fashioned classical and opera.
My mum and I attended the concert together as she quite likes her operatic pop (she's a big Il Divo fan). We got all dressed up in our nice clothes and, with hot chocolates in hand, climbed up in the dark to our seats which, though fairly high up, gave an amazing view of the stage. The first difference that struck me was the kind of crowd present. People were drinking wine instead of beer (not that really makes you any more sophisticated in all honesty) and dressed in formal wear instead of rocker gear. Most significantly though, there were no angry drunk people...a welcome change! When we entered the stage was lit with a reddish glow and an entire, fully fledged orchestra was seated with their instruments with the conductor in front and a large choir of approximately a hundred at the back. I found this quite surprising as I expected maybe a few musicians on stage, or even just a soundtrack! But nope, full orchestra. It was quite spectacular.
