Extremely well played out and HSO was perfect!
I gotta admit that I loved Wagner's music for the opera more then the opera itself . Maybe I am just not used to watching operas but certain parts was a bit confusing (the ending) and some parts was a little slow/kind of boring (the wheel spinning section).
Also the acoustics for the seats I was in was decent but not the greatest, and as an audiophile who is picky with sound it made it hard for me to focus on everything.
**Seats: Since that silly box has a character limit....
View was GREAT, you could see everything and the performer's voices reached me very well. But HSO's sounds were not the greatest due to the acoustics of the spot. I am thinking that it is because of the balcony overhang.
Highs are pretty drowned out, the Mids become very prominant, and the lows get very booming in this spot. The sound becomes very leveled at the lower end compared to the high ends. But if you aren't an audiophile and/or picky as I am, you folks should be alright :)
HOWEVER, despite all this, everyone and everything was amazing and great!! The actors and actresses were astounding and Hawaii Symphony Orchestra was in time and playing PERFECTLY to match with the singers' voice volumes!!
The acoustics of my seats wont knock off a star from the overall rating :)
