We loved this concert of Roger's and Hammerstein most loved songs from their most loved musicals. My son and I always love the POPs and today was no exception.
We enjoyed some amazing vocalists (soprano, alto, baritone), with a pretty impressive resume of top Broadway shows and two awesome choirs - the Orpheus Choir of Toronto and the U of T MacMillan Singers.
There were lots of favourites from Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and, of course, they brought the house down with that most beloved Roger's and Hammerstein Hit - the theme song from the Sound of Music. The audience couldn't sit down at the end and were rewarded with an encore sing-a-long of Do-Re-me.
It is just the most amazing venue to hear music, and to have the TSO paired with such strong vocals is an experience that just can't be compared. The best stereo system just won't give this to you at home, folks. My teenage son and I love the POPs series and always thoroughly enjoy it. We have held this subscription for years and my sister, who joined us this year, was also awed. Please support your Toronto orchestra - you won't be disappointed !
