In the news

Post a Comment*And they did it in that heap of an outdated, inappropriate venue, David Lyman. Imagine that?!
Yeah, the NERVE of the Pops to continue on in that crumbling, cavernous concert hall. And, don't they care that we want to go shopping and ice skating at 11PM after a concert?
yes and imagine no one was robbed, mugged, held at gunpoint or their cars stolen leaving the hall...shocking....I am sure David is scratching his head in wonder.....
Once again, you are all missing the point.
Music Hall is a great concert venue. The Nutcracker is a visual art. Why is that so hard to understand?
Do you people support the art, or the venue?
You know what I support buddy? I support the right to say whatever I feel like expressing on a blog...your missing the point....pull your head out of the nutcrackers crotch and come up for air....stop acting like your view is the only view.... P & G hall is a horrible place to see "visual art" if I want sterile, horrid colors, and uncomfortable seats I can go to my doctors office.....
forgive me for having an opinion.
Well, thank goodness there are so many short-sighted people like you in Cincinnati who are unwilling to embrace change of any kind and only concerned with a building rather than the performance taking place in it. The less of you there are at the show, the more seats there will be for people like us who appreciate and support the performers, regardless of where we are watching them. I'm sure the members of the Cincinnati Ballet Company are thankful that not all of Cincinnati arts patrons share your opinion as well.
Of all the things that people around here get worked up about - be it Fountain Square, or light rail, or even politicians - this has to be THE most absurd. If I were in the ballet, I would want to know who you people were so I could kindly find you and ask you to stay home.
Unbelieveable.
Merry Christmas.
I am all for change if it is for the better, but why in the world would you embrace something that you do not agree with? You think you should just go along with change because you might hurt someone's feelings at the ballet? HA! The EXPERIENCE is affected by the hall, and you can't even begin to duplicate the history, beauty and grandness of music hall with the aronoff, not by a long shot. We are about to have the same debate if playhouse decides to move downtown..... everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and it does not mean we are not art lovers and supporters.
Oh and the ballet is so hard up for patrons it is unlikely they would turn the grinch away on christmas eve......
ps. calling people names is not very nice at christmas time.
OK, I'll say it again. We can watch the Nutcracker on TV. The beauty of Music Hall was the setting. 1/2 the experience was the ballet itself. The other 1/2 of the experience was being in the grandeur of Music Hall. Remember, we are not all sophisticated ballet afficionados. Some of us just like the "experience" at Music Hall. We don't know acoustics. or proscenia, or colored walls. We just know that we LOVED going to Music Hall for the evening. We don't want to go to Aronoff to see a technically excellent ballet experience. Many of us don't really like the ballet per se. We love the experience at MH.
Why oh why is this so hard to comprehend by the arts snobs.
YES YES YES perhaps the artistic parameters might be favorable at the Aronoff. We don't go to have an excellent technical experience. We go for the "show" and the "setting".
Again, does that make us foolish?
And a Merry Xmas to Anonymous 10:29PM!
So if you love the experience of Music Hall so much, then by all means keep going to concerts there - it's not closing down.
BTW, I didn't call anyone names. In my opinion the negative responses on this blog are short-sighted made by short-sighted people. Cincinnati definietly does live up to its conservative reputation as evidenced by the minority of people here who will miss out on the Nutcracker.
Happy New Year!
Once again, because we have a strong opinion, we are short-sighted people and we have short-sighted opinions.
I get truly tired of having my character-type specified by those who don't agree with me.
I think that it is funny things become "negative responses" when they happen to be different from your opinions.
It is a discussion blog, it would be one big snoozefest if the only thing on here was your festering piehole spouting off nonsense.
Now now Anonymous 12/29 09:44:00a.m., don't be nasty; try to be nice!
That was me being nice....
That was me being nice....
Now, Now,,,,,,,,let's be nice, and kind to all the dancers, musicians in the community who have to put up with these
in the audience. They don't care where they are, just being on stage is the ultimate..
HAVE A HAPPIER 2008....
eM=M
yes, never mind passion, opinion or discussion....smooch smooch, lick lick...all is pink and fluffly....no wonder this city struggles with change.....
Thank you so much, Anon 10:33! I guess having an actual opinion is taboo, according to some of these posters?
And to Anon 4:24...
They are on stage to entertain US. If WE didn't matter, they would just stay in rehearsal in perpetuity. So, what WE think does matter.
