London City Ballet Bronx Theatre reviews
Manheiem DISAPPOINTING!!!
1. There was a beautiful piccolo trumpet part in the overture but not a piccolo trumpet player!!!!
2. London City Ballet pretended to sing Good King Wenceslas and that was just a horrible fake job.
3. Speaking of them, there were only 9 additional players and instead of them getting a polite and proper introduction, one by one (which might have taken 45 seconds), they were just sort of swept aside.
4. EVERY SONG was accompanied by a CD or some sort of track!!!!
5. That's not what I want out of a "live" performance.
6. There was a time that a Renaissance movie was being shown in the foreground of the musicians and the producer decided to fix the effect in such a way that the main 5 guys could be seen through the screen but not the rest of the "London City Ballet".
7. And they were VERY good, and REALLY MAKING MUSIC, not playing a CD of someone else playing their part.
8. I am so disappointed I spent money on this concert; it was NOTHING like when Chip Davis brought the real Manheim Steamroller to Orlando a few years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!
