Since Christmas we've been laying low at home for the most part. We've been in London every Sunday for church and to visit friends, but otherwise hanging out in Walton, with the exception of one outing this past weekend.
For Christmas, Dan gave me two tickets to see Carmina Burana at the O2 Arena (AKA The Millennium Dome). We enjoyed some sushi at one of the many restaurants at the venue before show. "Carmina Burana--Monumental Opera" was spectacular with fire works, elaborate costumes, and of course, intense music. This is their blurb:
"The O2 launches the Monumental Classics Series with Carmina Burana in January 2009. Franz Abraham, the creator of the production, brings Carl Orff’s masterpiece to life with over 250 performers - including the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Brighton Festival Chorus and Youth Choir, as well as dancers, actors, and singers. The dramatic staging has been created by Walter Haupt, a long standing close friend of Orff himself, and features a giant set, previously only seen outside and in stadiums, sensational light projections and fireworks."
Thanks honey!
