Adding to the list of unique cool things done in London

So, this Wednesday evening consisted of a quick burger wrap dinner with some corn before a trip out to see the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (1st one.)  However, this was no usual movie watch.  We were off to the Royal Albert Hall, a famously beautiful concert hall by Hyde Park.  The catch was that the score of the movie was removed, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra was there being conducted by Howard Shore to play all the music live.  There were two choirs and an amazing woman singing the parts of Enya to go along.  It was an amazing experience.  It's weird how much you notice the silence in a film when the music is being played right in front of you.  Also, it definitely emphasized how music can take over a powerful scene when done correctly.  

We're already making plans to be back next Apr 23rd/24th for the Two Towers performance
