We had an opportunity to go and see Peter and the Wolf performed by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. What a treat that was!
So we wouldn't have to pay the exorbitant downtown parking prices, we rode the DART train. The kiddo gets enthused whenever we are able to ride the train! And seeing the buildings in downtown Dallas is always a delight for my architecture-loving son. I wish I could have gotten pictures of some of the buildings but with a kid in tow it's not safe for us to stop just so I can take pictures and I'd rather be in the moment with him, not my camera.
This was our first time to visit the Meyerson Symphony Center and let me tell you, this place is gorgeous! When we walked into the hall, I was just awed by it all. However, it was a bit narrower than I was expecting but upon my little research, I found that this type of setting is called a "shoebox" design. The shoebox design supposedly has the best acoustic effect for emotional impact. After all, music really does engage our emotions.
And that organ! It's like a monument. I just love listening to organ music. Luckily for us, before the show an organist played Bach's spooky "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" - perfect for the Halloween season!
