World Choir Games Tickets

I understand that the Games wanted a large venue, but this basketball arena was a horrible place to hold this event. The sound quality was worse than horrible. There was so much echo in the building that speakers were barely understandable. Sound for the musical sections was only marginally better. The first portion of the program should have been much shorter. The speech from the Mayor of Cincinnati was typical political rubbish that did not even belong in this event. The pomp and circumstance was OK, but too long. It would have been nice to have a portion of the event dedicated to singing by all of the participating choirs - together on one or two numbers that they all learned. Instead, we heard from just a few. Music from the Cincinnati Pops was good, but the venue ruined it. I could have done without the opera solos.

This was an outstanding concert in a fabulous venue.

An historic performance that was extremely exciting. Opening ceremonies were marred by very HOT inside temperatures and very soft sound quality; these conditions were corrected!

An example of how all the world's people should interact - with humility, patience, an open mind, and a smile.

Super,great ,fabulous. Great show. Love the POPS. The guest singers had good energy.Glad I had opportunity to see them

The closing ceremony showed everyone that Cincinnati is world class. The music and performers were perfect . The atmosphere in the arena and especially among the choir members was electrifying. What a show!! This puts Cincinnati on the map and gives Cincinnatians so much to be proud of.

Almost perfect conclusion to an exciting and world-class musical event. Congratulations to the city planners and the participants. The city looks clean and wonderful the local citizenry was very cordial and welcoming. Most venues were fantastic. I was slightly disappointed by the closing ceremonies because of the poor acoustics and difficulty of seating. Saw several people fall on their way to the receipts hopefully no one was seriously injured. The cops and the chorus sounded very good though. Soloist not so much probably due to the acoustics. Was also disappointed that Handle's Messiah and Battle hymn of the Republic offered as updated versions. I was hoping the program would end Iwith ode to Joy or H's Messiah, as I can only imagine how magnificent those would've sounded with all those wonderful and classically trained singers - from the 4 corners of the earth lending their voices. Perhaps it would have been too overwhelming when you consider how fantastic they even did with O happy day. Great job overall.

I don't know what was the most fantastic: the parade of nations, superstars Idina Menzel and Marvin Winans, or hometown favorites Cincinnati Pops and May Festival Chorus! It was a night to remember.

The closing ceremony was fantastic, creative, upbeat and loaded with talent. It was the best way to end the two weeks of competitions and celebrations.

Closing Ceremony - the acoustics did not do justice to the performers, pops symphony, and the May Festival Chorus. The Boys Choir bringing in the flags was a great idea.

The closing ceremony was great and so energy packed. It was a really good ending to the two week event. I really hated to see the two weeks come to an end!

The Closing Ceremony was great -- much better than the Opening Ceremony. Since this was a unique event, it's hard to recommend to others unless they're willing to travel to Latvia for the 2014 World Choir Games. However, I would encourage everyone to take advantage of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as the World Choir Games when they take place locally. Hopefully, there will be more like it!

The event was very inspiring and the performers were outstanding. Love the Pops and May Festival Choir. Wish the choirs would have performed more.

The World Choir Games Closing Ceremony was filled with great music, intense joy, and the reality of hope for our world. I am so glad I was there.

We enjoyed it very much, even though it was a little long. It started a little late but with all that was going on in town, it was understanable..

It was a great night of music and fun. Loved the way the whole crowd got up and danced, clapped, sang. Very entertaining.

It was so sad to have to end the World Choir Games. But the ending was spectacular! It difinately was a once in a lifetime experience. Being surrounded by all that wonderful music and all those smiling faces was awesome. The Cincinnati Pops with the guest conductor and the outstanding singers were over the top. I am so glad that I got to witness it and be a part of it!

Although the Closing Ceremony was wonderful the acoustics were horrible. The children marching in with the flags were precious

It was such a thrill to be part of this event. from start to finish outstanding. Gave me great pride for our city!

A little slow at the start but a fantastic finish. The parade of flags was impressive and the boys choir did a good job carrying the flags and signs. The Cincinnati Pops was above what I remember in other concerts and the May Festival Chorus with the Games Choirs was a beautiful sound. The Attending "stars" were great, the final "We Are the World" with the whole arena singing was just amazing.
