Michael got two tickets to the Cirque de la Symphonie on December 16th and invited me to go with him. It has been a long time since we have done anything with the arts. Michael didn't get home until 6:00 p.m. and the performance started at 7:00 so we were a little nervous about time but made great time to Salt Lake (30 minutes) and then discovered that there was no parking. We forgot that the LDS Church was holding their Christmas performance in the Conference Center and reserved all Church parking for that in addition to those attending the performance using all city parking. So, there was no parking for anything else in SLC. We drove around for 45 minutes and were quite discouraged. We ended back up in the parking lot across from the Energy Solutions Arena along with the other cars driving through trying to find an empty spot. We were about to give up when Michael turned down one aisle and we found an empty spot. We therefore missed most of the first have of the performance.
It was fantastic. It showcases cirque performances while the symphony plays and the performances were amazing and the music selection was perfect. We were sad that we missed the Harry Potter performance. Sorry, no pictures. One funny story - they had to artists come out in gold bottoms and painted gold to represent statues. They put on the most amazing performance of strength and balance with one balancing on the others head while he is sitting down, with one arm, and then he stands up. Incredible! Anyway, when they walked out this old lady in front of us starts whistling and calling out to them, It was so funny. Hello, this is not Vegas at Chippendales. We want to go next year.
