Reviews from the Blogosphere

Thanks to the internet anyone can be a critic these days. Here’s what people in the blog world have been saying about Utah Symphony | Utah Opera lately.

Scott and Marsha
“The performance [of Peer Gynt] was amazing. It was symphony and chorus, along with vocal solo parts and a narrator that was fantastic. I have said it before, and I will say it again, there is nothing like symphony and choir.”

Wasn’t it fun to hear the words to the music in Peer Gynt (for example, In the Hall of the Mountain King)? I bet lots of you never knew that the song was about a guy being chased by trolls who were trying to kill him! Knowing that makes it clear why the song has become standard for those scary Halloween haunted houses.

A Peek into my Life – Nick Ferrin
“Last Friday, Wendy and I went to Abravanel Hall, which is where the Utah Symphony plays. They were playing Edvard Grieg’s fantasy music, and it was amazing…I am committing myself to going more often.”
