Carmina Burana

Beloved Husband and Herself were given a pair of tickets to the local symphony, which -- together with local choir and opera groups -- was performing Carmina Burana.  It was a complex sensory experience - there were crowds and crowds of people in the audience (including a young man seated in front of them who was sporting far too much cologne), and over two hundred and fifty performers including the musicians and choir members on stage.  A lot to see, too much to smell, and the proximity of many, many strangers.

But:  the music.  Ah, the music.

O fortuna!

AndrĂ© Rieu conducting. Just marvelous.
