Audience feedback from our last "THE SNOWMAN & THE BEAR" concerts in December 2006
The CCOHK staged the Hong Kong debut of "The Snowman & The Bear" in December 2003 and a re-run in December 2006 to packed houses. Some of the comments given by the audience members who attended the performances in 2006 are given below:
The music and the movies are so captivating. The voices of the boy and girl are so beautiful. They sang really well. This is a concert that should be held every year.
---------- Ms. Chan (Quarry Bay)
I am really happy. It has been a feast with animations and live music.
---------- Miss Tam (Tuen Mun)
The performance was amazing! It started off with Harry Wong's amusing introduction of "The Bear" which captured the children's attention. I especially enjoyed Jonathan Douglas' narration of "The Snowman". His loud, clear and enthused voice really brought the story alive! I also enjoyed the wonderful performance by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong!
---------- Miss Lo (Shouson Hill)
It was great! I really liked the organization of the concert with the movie, narrator, voices and orchestra. Very energetic and nice to listen and see! The children singers performed so well!
---------- Miss LeGool (Stanley)
An exhilarating Christmas treat for all the family, young and old!
---------- Miss O'Connor (Mid-Levels)
Fabulous! Perfect for young children. We need more concerts like this for young children.
---------- Mr. Ridley (Pokfulam)
I thought it was wonderful! It was very exciting when "The Snowman" and the boy flew up into the air.
---------- Master Pang (Tai Wai)
Really fun and inspiring for my children.
---------- Mrs. Mito (Sha Tin)
Good combination of interesting stories, enjoyable music and lively presentation from Harry Wong and Jonathan Douglas. Well done. Excellent!
---------- Miss Fung (Sha Tin)
What a fantastic show! It's the first time I have experienced live music played simultaneously with an animated film. Certainly it has created an hour of joy and delight for kids and adults alike.
---------- Ms. Lam (Hung Hom)
This was an excellent multi-media performance. It was also a great way to introduce orchestral music to young listeners. The very able and talented narrators made the show enjoyable.
---------- Mr. Shono (Tai Tam)
This is a good time for such a performance before Christmas. I am glad to see families coming to this concert, adults and children enjoying the films, the songs and the beautiful music. Jonathan and Harry were great story-tellers. The boy and girl sopranos were marvellous. I love "The Snowman". It was a great afternoon indeed.
---------- Miss Cheng (Pokfulam)
An exhilarating, heartwarming and nostalgic experience for family, adults and children alike. Would like to see it again next Christmas.
---------- Dr. Leung (Discovery Bay)
On 5 and 6 December the concert versions of these two winter-time classics will be re-run in English along with the animated films. Don't miss the chance to hear and see The Snowman & The Bear with the whole family! |
