Hi,
Thanks for the pictures and video (and I suggest you keep the video unlisted because I suspect it will be taken down if you make it public).
I was present for the Thursday show. I loved everything about the concert itself, but I was a bit disappointed by Elfman himself. He only arrived once the second half had started (which meant meeting him in the intermission was impossible), and once the concert was over he rushed out the side door in a hoodie, barging past us. There were literally 4 of us waiting for a photo/autograph, and everyone else had graciously stopped to chat (both conductors, Lebo M, etc.). And even though he had a 5 minute wait for his car (his agent was hassling quite loudly for all to hear), he preferred to sit in a corridor, than spend those 5 minutes with us. Then when they told him the car had arrived, he barged right through us, completely ignoring the one guy who tried to stop him for an autograph.
It’s my third Hollywood in Vienna concert, and in the past two years I was impressed by the humility and charm of both James Newton Howard and Alexandre Desplat. Not so much this time. Thankfully the concert itself was flawless.
Hi,
If anyone is interested, I have one ticket for sale for the Thursday 28th September concert. It’s not the Gala concert, but it’s the exact same programme, and Elfman will be there. I’ve attended the past 2 years and the composer was always present for both nights. I also chose my seat based on where they usually place the composer, so you should be a few rows away from him. The seat is Row 8, Seat 12, which is the top range of seats. I purchased it for €125, which is what I’m selling it for.
Let me know if anyone’s interested. I can guarantee that it will be an amazing concert because the standard during the past 2 years was impressive.
Mark
