So Wednesday of this week, I went with a friend to see LOTR: The Fellowship of the Rings at Wolftrap. It was being played with a live orchestra. It sounded amazing too. It really fit in with the movie. We had front row tickets and after awhile it seemed too close. Plus, I was seated next to some jittery fellow that shook violently throughout the first half. I was like “Are you having a brain seizure? Do you have palsy? How many cases of Red Bull did you drink? Been doing speed long?”
During intermission we decided to move about halfway back so we could see the orchestra better. There was a guy with an accordion - I’m not sure what part of the score demanded an accordion though. During the elvish sequences, a woman came out and sung in elvish - which was a nice touch.
It was a bit too cold - but we had brought some warm clothes thankfully. It was a good time and I’m definitely going to see the next two movies when they come out this way.
