Huh... I wanted to buy it yesterday, and they didn't have any tickets. The seller asked "Did they start spreading them?".

I'll go directly to the hall today, and ask there - I want my ticket!!!

Goes to visit JoTaErre and, fast and silent, steals his tickets and flees... to Bucharest.

Elizabeth · « **Reply #35 on:** November 10, 2006, 04:11:38 pm »

Waits for Luthy at the airport and then shows her the city

You were saying something about Bucharest, JR?

P.S. Congrats! See you around

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Today's the big day!!!

Anywaaaay.... the report for yesterday: went to the seminare (almost missed it, 'cause I was living under the impression that it's today

), which.... was a bit disappointing. 1st, I was expecting an enormous crowd. Seems like Romanians just want to headbang, and are not interested in the music's background at all.
Then, Uli. The info itself wasn't so lame, but the presentation did s**k, considering he's supposed to be some kind of genius. Chris was utterly bored. I'm not kidding at all, you could see on his face that he was bored to death. At some point, he just looked in my direction, and didn't move for a while, staring into the void. When he tried to interfere a bit in the conference, he was quickly put to silence

After the conference was (happily) over, haha... signing session!

I got my poster signed, and thanks to Virus (who nearly pushed me from the back) even took a pic with Uli and one with Chris! YES, it's true what everybody says, they truly are veeery nice and gentle people. Sometimes even too friendly, like Kristian

He signed my poster with this looong and extended signature, and when I said "That's a long signature", he replied "Well, you know what they say. Long signature, long....".

I blushed so violently, that you could have nearly lit a cigarette approaching it to my face.

As for the dinner... it was too long and funny to detail it. Plus, I have to run now, we're visiting the Parliament

I wish you could all be here

Cheers!

Livi

I am happy for you Livi ,

glad i could help. Enjoy the day you deserve it,.. and i mean it

Me home now. I'm almost speechless, either because of the extraordinary concert, or the sorrow and frustration that must always accompany every good time I have.

If I was to resume the concert in one expression, this would be it:

Nothing more, nothing less. I'll let the programme (which I'll scan and post, even being in Romanian) speak for me:

1st part: Therion - Medley - symphonic part

4 Therion songs, in the interpretation of the symphonic orchestra, choir and opera solists.
- The Khlysti Evanghelist, Intro
- The Flight of the Lord of Flies
- Wondrous World of Punt, Intro
- Clavicula Nox, classic

2nd part: Classical music
7 pieces selected from Wagner, Verdi, Dvorak, Saint-Saens and Mozart - interpreted by the symphonic orchestra, choir, opera solists and Therion.
Dvorak
9th Symphony - Part IV
Verdi
Il trovatore - "Vedi! le fosche notturne spoglie"
Mozart
Requiem - Dies Irae
Saint-Saens
3rd Symphony - "Organ", Maestoso (fragment)
Wagner
Rienzi - Uvertura (fragment)/ACT III, "Der Tag ist da" (fragment)/ACT V (fragment)
Siegfried - "Notung! Notung! Niedliches Schwert"

3rd part
10 Therion songs from different albums, rewritten for symphonic orchestra, choir, solists and Therion.
- Blood of Kingu
- Sirius B
- Eternal Return
- Lemuria
- Draconian Trilogy
- Schwarzalbenheim
- Siren of the Woods
- Via Nocturna
- Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah
- Grand Finale

Needless to say, I almost cried when they played the Siren. Bah... I almost cried at each of the songs! And I almost cried also because Christofer played with us badly.

Enough for the moment. I'll post my own opinions later on.

Sounds like it was a great show... But I was all this time at a Christamas party (which sucked, by the way)... I couldn't check on online TV if it was to be shown.
