I went to the NY Philharmonic once or twice. Now they call me twenty times a year asking for an "urgently needed donation" to keep the Philharmonic going. I hate the Philharmonic.
We got three things there, all in one place. The Met Opera, the Philharmonic, and the Ballet. I've been to all three at different points (it's 7 blocks away from my apt). I hated the ballet (went to see Spartacus, expecting some badassery with swords, saw instead a powdered man in tights jumping around). Opera was actually nice, but only because they had LCD screens built into the seat in front with English subtitles. Otherwise I would have fallen asleep. Philharmonic I went to see some German lady play the Bach Cello Suites. Was for a class. Was ok.
