Rutgers Symphony Orchestra. Ching-Chun Lai, conductor; Diana Kim, violin. February 10, 2024.
Nicholas Music Center, Mason Gross PAC, New Brunswick, NJ. Open seating ($12.50).There is supposedly "no video recording or photography" inside the music center, at all times.

This event looked quite interesting, and at $10 a ticket (for seniors, with a $5 per order processing fee), what can go wrong?Indeed it was a most enjoyable concert. I expected enthusiasm, and perhaps stage fright, but didn't expect how well the opera was performed.Perhaps it was the intimacy of a small theater (seating less than 400 people), the voices sounded great. At first many singers' voices came across as harsh - particularly that of Mimi - but they grew on the audience.The orchestra (Rutgers Symphony) also was up to the task. I couldn't see […]
