The last night before the last night of the Proms. A Beethoven evening including the very recognisable #5.
I had the pleasure of going with Joe as Shaz was too busy. We managed to have a pint in South Kensington beforehand and watch the last 20 minutes of the Ashes with the beginning of England’s second innings.
And the music? Good, though as before, when the singers were on we were in some cheap seats to which the voice projection was not so good.
But good fun all the same, very recognisable intro to #5 of course and other sections. The crowd loved it all so much that the orchestra played an encore. Not typical of my experience. Joe seemed to enjoy the evening too- so a win-win.
Until the next time.
