Welcome back to the Esplanade! 2022

Finally! After what seemed like forever hiatus, we’re back for SSO concerts. Such a nice feeling to be live though the seats are not that comfortable. 

2nd Sep - Broadway with Love

Pre-tuning and I felt so emotional. It’s been too long, the last concert was Harry Potter ( not SSO) in 2020. Watching streamed videos is so different. I’m sure many patrons are just as emo as me today. After all this concert was cancelled in April 2020

It was standing ovation, the crowd loved it and danced to ABBA’s Dancing Queen at encore. The musicians truly deserves the applause they never heard for so long too! 

23rd Sep - Psycho

Such an expensive ticket to watch Psycho on screen. 😂

So where should I keep my eyes on? The screen or the musicians? Even if I have a surround sound stereo, the live performance is just so real. Evoked a hair raising fear at the shower scene, those (very forgiving) screeching violins, violas and cellos 

 

What will make the concert more intriguing?  Have someone bring a lighter close to the water sprinklers and get a 🚿 sensory concert. 

 

10th Nov - BAROQUE FESTIVAL The Aroma of Music

This was at the request of Che-Che who loves baroque music. OMG! I almost fell asleep at the Kopi cantata. It’s a comic script or whatever you call it, but it certainly is boring with the kopi kopi kopi. (Me think about 🎶 Kopi O Kopi O 喝一杯浓浓的 Kopi O) Music is nice with harpsichord but seriously the singing is boring. We were seated the front row, how to really doze off? What if I end up snoring there? Can only pretend to close eyes and shake head macam like enjoying music like that. Haha!

Well, I will be smarter next round if we’re going for SSO concert with opera section by opting for few rows behind.

16th Nov 
Is this counted? We couldn’t get tickets for twosetviolin. So watched it online. Better than nothing lor….

***That sums up our 2022 SSO SEASON***
