Penne alla Saffi, with LumenoCity


Sunday 4 August
After a day in the office, we ran home to make a simple, quick Penne alla Saffi before driving off to an immensely crowded Washington Park to see LumenoCity. 

This was a performance put on to welcome Louis Langrée as music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and it combined performances by the Orchestra, the Pops, the May Festival Chorus, the Ballet (what could be seen of it), and a really clever light projection directly onto our historic Music Hall.

It had architectural and theatrical fantasies, kaliedoscopes, and silhouetted dancers, and at the end the balloons projected on the building were echoed by real lit-up balloons being tossed in the audience.  There are only a few things that qualify as magical, but this was.
