We enjoyed the symphony, " Cirque de la Symphonie" very much. The orchestra sounded wonderful and the circus acts were thrilling and coordinated beautifully. It was a very festive event and well attended. My only comment is that since so many children were there, I think the Maestro could have spoken more to the kids as did Leonard Bernstein during the concerts for young people. The music played in between circus acts was lovely, but long for a youth audience. We did not have children with us, but were surrounded by kids of all ages and experienced their restlessness. I'm not sure if children were encouraged to attend this performance or not, but I think they were, considering the number there.
I think this was a very successful event and hope that more will follow with this creativity.
