Proms

On Monday night we went to the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Concert Hall. The Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra performed the night we went. It was a really beautiful venue. It is a huge round room with several balconies and deep red velvet seats. The music was beautiful too, although I was sleepy at the beginning and struggled to stay awake. Thankfully after intermission I got over the tired bout. We're so busy and I'm so exhausted here that every time I sit down I can't help but fall asleep- even while on the tube!



They had a picture from when they showed Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and it was accompanied by an orchestra!

These guys came up to their seats with cups of beer. It seemed like an odd drink for such an elegant place. Then when I went to the bathroom at intermission I saw people with wine glasses. I guess they can balance each other out.
