My choir performed Prokofiev's Alexander Nevksy in Carnegie Hall on the 1st of November. It was really fun. This was the first time I had sung on the stage at Carnegie (our last time there we sang from off stage). I was amazed at how good it felt to sing there. Something about the acoustic just made everything that came of of my mouth feel right.
This makes me understand, I think, the real appeal of this hall to performers. From the audience the sound is quite good I think, but not exceptional. But on stage it is amazing. The appeal of Carnegie is just the feel of the place. I see why people feel they have arrived when they have sung there. It isn't because it's famous and you are great if you are invited to sing there, it's because it feels great to sing there.
