Adventures.

So the last few days have been something of a blur. Sunday afternoon I went to the COUPs chorale concert (Choeur et Orchestre des Universités de Paris). Musique en Sorbonne is a part of it (and that's my orchestra). They were great, and they sang Poulenc "Litanies à la vièrge noire" with an organ that made my blood run cold. I think the organ often has that effect on me. They also sang the Kodaly "Missa Brevis," which I rather liked.

After that, Gabrielle mentioned that she was heading to the Comédie Française to try and get last minute 5€ tickets for L'Avare (Molière). Charlotte and I decided to join the fun, and we were all really REALLY glad that we had. The actor playing Harpagon (Denis Podalydès) was superb, and the whole play was hilarious. Honestly, it's the Comédie Française. I'd be willing to bet most things they do are superb.
