Last night we arrived at the massive Theatre Antique in time to catch the last 30 minutes of Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea. We thought they were the headliners, but Richard Bona and his band came on second, even though they were in small font on the tickets. Headliners go first here? Or Chick and Bobby are not quite as big here? We don’t know. The festival organizers kindly came up with complimentary tickets for our entire group.
Those Romans sure built things to last. Unlike, say, the KingDome, the public entertainment space in this town has stood about 1950 years. With a long climb up and many “Excusez-mois,” we managed to squeeze into the few remaining spots on the upper tiers of the stone slabs. The moon came up as we looked down on the stage, the town, and the Rhone in the distance.
Fab photos & interesting narrative, Ben. Thanks! Why did I have to add 9 and 7? I’m retired . . .
Wish you could pack up that “Boozendorfer” – ne of the world’s better pianos!
Safe travels – keep the blogs coming! Hi, Kim and Bon!
