My wife has been singing in a local choir for many years. They perform in various venues, often churches or cultural centres. This week they were part of a larger performance, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, a piece that requires several choirs and a full orchestra. The performance took place in Alicante’s main concert hall, a step up from the typical venues. So this was the main event of the week.
