Well, it's good to hear that you enjoyed it, Gorwingel!
You were apparently lucky with your seats, which wasn't the case for me, we had lousy seats, but because so many people didn't show up (can you believe that???), we were allowed to move a little closer. But that was still far away...

We could perfectly see the drawings though. You know that every time there is a performance they do so with the "local" orchestra? I must say, no matter how much I liked it, that the belgian musicians often made mistakes, especially the picollo solo (not sure it is a picollo, but I'm talking about the Shire theme) was very trembling and sometimes out of key, because the man who played it was obviously very nervous...
