Once again Goldstar delivers. The seats were great and the performance was magnificent. Thank you Goldstar, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time and an awesome experience for half the price. Keep up the good work and keep the great events at a lower price coming.
My first time attending a classical music event on this scale. Thoroughly recommend the venue and the Orchestra. That Beethoven guy will go far too.

"The day on which a High Mass composed by me will be performed during the ceremonies solemnized for Your Imperial Highness will be the most glorious day of my life,” wrote Beethoven to Archduke Rudolf. But Beethoven would not complete the Mass in time for the designated date. As he struggled with the future masterwork, a friend reported: “He looked as if he had been in mortal combat with the whole host of contrapuntists, his everlasting enemies.”
