View of Conference Center stage and dancers.
After the Sunday morning broadcast we had a mini-concert with our soloist, Natalie Cole, and the Children’s Choirs, the Bells at Temple Square, the dancers from the University, and the Orchestra at Temple Square. It was very fulfilling. We were given the opportunity to see one of the pieces we sang that had extensive choreography from the perspective of the audience. The technicians played back our recording of the music and the dancers performed their part for the choirs, bell ringers, and orchestra. The view of the stage is nothing less than spectacular but the stage looks tiny when compared to our view, which is right next to the stage. What a memorable production! Rick Elliott’s arrangement stole the show again, a version of the Christmas hymn, “We Three Kings of Orient, Are” superimposed over several dances from “The Nutcracker”.
