I love this thread.
For years and years, every time I've heard this incredible overture, I've wondered what it must have been like being in the audience early in the run of the original production, never having heard one note of the score. Chills and goosebumps come to mind. From the first note to the last it's pretty much perfection. And for a very special treat, watch this video, produced during the pandemic on Zoom. It's guaranteed to put a smile on your face/ |
