I am SO excited to attend the annual MoTab Christmas concert!!!!! As my gorgeous and talented eldest sister is a member of the Choir, I have great blessed to attend several of these concerts in the past 13 years (wow!! Has it really been that long?!!!). I remember going to Angela Lansbury in 2001 when I was a senior in high school and she sang Tale as Old as Time and I nearly cried. I then went to Audra McDonald and was blown away by her powerful voice. I as able to go to the Sunday broadcast of Sissel and that concert was a total game changer for these Christmas Concerts and I think the Choir has been trying to recapture that magic ever since. Next, I saw the King Singers and Nathan Gunn, which, in my opinion, were great but not quite like Sissel (can you tell I was obsessed?!!), and then last year there was Alfie Boe. Oh my word, that was the BEST MoTab concert I have ever been to, right up there with Sissel in 2006 and Katherine Jenkins in the summer of 2012. Sure, Alfie Boe still had the lame dancers but it was way toned back from the extreme self-indulgence of the choreography of previous years.
Now tonight, I get to see Deborah Voight and John Rhys-Davies!!! To be honest, I'm more excited to see Sahla and Gimbli than hear a famous opera singer. Les and I were watching Raiders of the Lost Arch a few weeks ago and it just then clicked for her that John Rhys-Davies played both characters. So funny!!
Anywho, I love Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!!
Thanks Andrea for getting us tickets!!
