Wonderful performance! Guest performers were exuberant.
This concert was a perfect Christmas gift. My husband and I both enjoyed it tremendously. The quality of the musicians and the boys' choir was superb. This was our first time at the Broad Stage and it had excellent acoustics and exquisite architecture. The sunset from the upstairs window at intermission was an added bonus.
Everything was great with one small exception. The last four rows the end half a dozen chairs make a curving motion to fit the building's curve. Problem is you end up looking at the wall so you sit leaning in toward the stage.
Truly a design flaw and nothing to do with Goldstar.
