Well played, Chloe!

The Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay opened in October 2002, and who are the Singaporeans who did not step into the concert hall even once these 20+ years?  Me!  Me!!

 

Finally, the time came, for my friend AL and me!



Such an impressive concert hall, but a bit large, no?  



I don’t fancy sitting right up there in the last few rows and also, there is a toilet problem with such a huge audience capacity.  Let me just say that the toilet to concert-goer ratio is far from ideal.

 

First time I knew of seats behind the orchestra but there we were!  It’s an interesting angle to watch from and I liked being near the musicians.  



However, those seats aren’t comfortable, with what I assumed to be a sort of backrest at the wrong position.  Also, you’re in full view of the majority of the audience so the whole time, I felt I had to sit up straight and not move – a bit stressful!  

 

Still, we were that close to our star!

So proud of this young lady!



Hope to see you again soon, Chloe!
