We must have had the only two bad seats in the venue (Main Floor Back Wall by the ventilation shaft). For example, it was eerie listening to the mezzo-soprano, her mouth moved but some syllables didn't reach my seat. The rumble from the ventilation shaft was distracting in the quiet moments. It is a tribute to the choir, the soprano and the bass-baritone that they were able to occasionally project with such power that I felt like I was listening to a live performance and not TV.
