Tchaikovsky: Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32 Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minorPart of the Musically Speaking series. The young conductor spoke about the music elements of the 2 pieces. He rearranged the layout of the musicians. I very much like his conducting compared to my last concert.
Dinner @ Ivar's Salmon House w/ D.M. (taking advantage of the new Seattle Restaurant Week promotion) before heading over to Meany Studio for Bat Boy by UW Drama School. Story of a savage found in a cave and taken to a home to be cared for, and hoping to be accepted by the community. An unexpected ending. Minimal stage set. Good costume. The kids acted well (a little exaggerated). Don't know if it's my hearing or the acoustics of the house, I couldn't get all the words. Single voice often was drown by the group accompaniment. Other than the Bat Boy and the mother, most of them spoke too fast and didn't articulate clearly. The Bat Boy is excellent.
