To see ballet on TV is nice, and I’ll be looking for DVD’s a good versions of The Sleeping Beauty, no doubt, but I really have to say it’s a live perfomance that one can appreciate more, and treasure the experience. [See the post previous to this one, Sleeping Beauty – The Russian National Ballet …] I’m glad to have been able to share this with my daughter. It’s the only true ballet I’ve been to. She’s fortunate to be able to say she saw her first at Seven years of age. I hope that she’ll have many more ballets to attend through the years.
My next love is opera, and I have seen one live opera. I’ve listened to the Texaco Saturday operas, in my youth that was something I did on my own many Saturday’s. I want to get out and see live Opera with my children.
I also love Symphony and Chamber orchestras. One love I have is Romantic period Symphonic music. I’ve been to several orchestral concerts through the years, of various levels and materials. My love though is a long program performed in the evening, any seat in a huge auditormium. My desire of late is to hear Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, or Bruckner. I’ve found a few cities a day drive away that are doing Bruckner’s 4th Symphony in the coming months. This is my biggest wish of immediate redemption. 🙂
My last love is me singing. I have done many varieties of performance, and what I lastly want is a band to create music with, to perform and get a style going that is all our own (modern rock with classic rock, metal, classical music elements, to start with.) I love performing, sharing my gift of voice, but I really don’t want a solo career, I’d love a group of guys to work with.
