The Pittsburgh Symphony

The husband and I enjoyed an evening at Heinz Hall yesterday. The main event was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. It's a brilliant work, of course, but what I cannot understand is how the audience can sit there stonefaced, staring straight ahead, through this symphony.

It's so passionate, in a strong, rhythmically driven way, and yet the husband and I were the only ones reacting. I think the PSO would bring in a lot more people if they eliminated the front rows and replaced them with a dance floor.
