A Last Hurrah

We are getting ready to leave D.C. but in keeping with last year's precedent Dan, Josh and I went to Wolftrap before leaving. Last year was Les Miserables. Wonderful but THIS year was the Wolftrap Orchestra, Washington Chorus and and enormous screen showing:

Yes, we watched The Two Towers with LOTS of fans who love the movie, the characters, the music, anything that could induce applause.

These are only a few of the fans (dare I say nuts?) who sat IN THE RAIN FOR THREE HOURS to see this performance. You have to admire this kind of dedication. We, of course, were not crazy enough to sit outside in the rain, we paid extra to sit inside to see a movie we have seen countless times.


DO NOT GET ME WRONG. We (at least Josh and I) loved it! I had no idea that there was so much music in this movie. The orchestra played almost non-stop and it was wonderful. The soloists were great. One was a boy who looked to be about nine years old. He had an unbelievably pure voice. How many kids do you know who can stand up, in front of a full orchestra and 3,000 people and belt out lyrics in elvish?


What a great idea. We (at least Josh and I) would definitely be up for Return of the King!
