I was just confused for a moment that they aren't mentioning SImon Leclerc and only the other director in the post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not planning to write a card with names this time, just a note "with love from MFC". Btw, we're already over 150€... I think that's already a nice large bouquet. Just sent my contribution Karin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was the reason why I also had been wondering whether Simon would be the conductor... I had read only the other name in some post, but couldn't remember where. 😅 Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanT Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Today I got confirmation that I have to work on June 24 so no philharmonic concert for me. Maybe next time ( and in an easier place to reach ). In any case I'll see Mika in Lucca.😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'll be very windy (glad I'm not coming by plane! 😅), that can surely feel colder... dunno how much we'll feel of the wind inside of the theatre tho, it looks quite wind protected (at least in the lower seats).

Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Mika started to add songs from the concert in Versailles in 2020. And I wonder if Ida will come to Orange as well. Because who will sing Happy Ending ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised, but if he's fitting in the new songs, we might not get all the old standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently sat in 16°C, it's nice in the direct sunshine but quite cool in the shade and breeze, some goosebumps going on. Bring a cardi/wrap/shawl, just in case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 do you think we need to bring cushions for the chairs in the front as well, or is that only relevant for the stone seats? Tbh for that ticket price I'd expect a cushioned chair, but you never know, lol! 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only keep reading that you should bring cushions for more comfort, but it seems most of their concerts don't have these chairs in the fosse area. For the chair area cushion is provided. Un coussin Il est exact de dire que le confort du théâtre à ciel ouvert est tout de même limité. Les gradins sont en pierres brutes pas vraiment adéquates pour les postérieurs délicats. Il est impératif de ramener un petit coussin douillet. Votre emplacement marqué au sol est moins large qu’un canapé, aussi ne vous encombrez pas de sacs volumineux qui risquent de traîner dans vos jambes ou sur vos genoux toute la soirée. Une autre solution est de préférer la catégorie la plus chère où le coussin est fourni. A pillow It is correct to say that the comfort of the open-air theater is still limited. The stands are made of rough stone, not really suitable for delicate posteriors. It is imperative to bring a small cozy cushion. Your marked spot on the floor is narrower than a sofa, so don't weigh down bulky bags that risk dragging around your legs or on your knees all evening. Another solution is to prefer the most expensive category where the cushion is provided. https://www.classique-c-cool.com/dossiers/choregies-orange-mode-emploi 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffeandy Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I don't have a ticket for the chairs but basically half of my hand (and only) luggage is a cushion. Priorities Fun fact: It's the same cushion I had with me when I've been to the Revelation Tour in Zurich. The security guy who was checking my handbag was very confused why I have a microbead cushion there. I was travelling overnight by bus so it was a must-have. Now the cushion wants to hear Mika again so I have to take it. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
