Great upper body exercise is one of the benefits of attending Thursday night's NSO concert at Wolf Trap. Although they started with the score from the Lord of the Rings (a silly piece of music, not worthy of a concert stage) and a medley of Wagner favorites (Wagner-lite), which were accpetable if not profound, they concluded with Orff's Carmina Burana, featuring teh Washington Chorus (120 members strong) and three excellent soloists from the Wolf Trap Opera Company.
The tremendous performance was appreciated by the large crowd, who gave them a 7 minute standing ovation. Great Upper Body Exercise.
Before the show, we had supper at Ovations, the restaurant of Wolf Trap. It is very comfortable to sit outside on a nice night watching the pic-nickers. We had the $25 buffet (soup, salad, entree, veggies and desserts) along with a drink and coffee. Not cheap, but tasty enough.
