The must see list
6.3.06

With the amazing (and amazing is an underrated comment) performance by Take 6 in Java Jazz Festival last Saturday, one name is gone from my “must see” list. Still far from complete though and there is still quite a big possibility for it to grow.

And here the list goes! (Have seen items written in blue)

Choirs:
Cambridge Singers
Hungarian National Choir
Oreya (Bremen Choir Olympics, July 2004)
Brigham Young University Singers
The University of Philippines Madrigal Singers

Conductors:
John Rutter
Eric Whitacre
Jerry Jordan (Bremen Choir Olympics, July 2004)
Gabor Hollerung (Bremen Choir Olympics, July 2004)

Groups:
Take 6 (Java Jazz, March 2006)
Il Divo
Neri per Caso
Amici

Singers:
Andrea Bocelli
Michael Crawford
Anthony Warlow (“Annie” Lyric Theatre Sydney, November 2000)
Barbra Streisand
Lea Salonga (“Flower Drum Songs” Mark Taper Forum Los Angeles, November 2001)

Musicals:
The Phantom of The Opera (Her Majesty's Theatre London, October 2001)
Les Miserables (Civic Theatre Newcastle, December 1999 & Palace Theatre London, October 2001)
Miss Saigon

Operas:
Marriage of Figaro
Don Giovani (SND Bratislava, Juli 2001)
Barber of Seville
Aida
La Traviata
Carmen (Divadlo Arena Bratislava, August 2001)
any opera in La Scala Milan

Looking again into the list, there are some names that should’ve been taken off some times ago; names like Bocelli, Crawford, and Streisand (tickets were way too expensive for a, then, postgrad student) or Ner per Caso (schedule collided with a more important thing which I already forget what it is now).

Which one will go off next? Hopefully it’s Whitacre, as I heard he’ll be in Xiamen Choir Olympics next July. Although his being there will be an extra pressure for us, since we’ll be singing his - again - amazing composition Water Night.

As for the rest of the list, there’s no plan whatsoever for the time being. :-)

Seeing is believing and I like what I see here.
I like where I am, what I'm feeling...
What are we doing? Can you believe it?
Oh well, I might as well enjoy this moment...
from Aspects of Love's "Seeing is Believing" by Andrew Lloyd Webber
