That sounds to have been a great evening - thanks for sharing. We had a similar semi-staged performance by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, a while back when Marin Alsop was still the Principal Conductor. That used a stage extension and just a few simple props but quite a lot of moving around by the soloists - Sir John Tomlinson as Bluebeard I seem to remember. It too was very dramatic and a concert to remember. Fischer is a great performance but nothing quite reaches the visceral impact of a live performance.
