点评:Roy Thomson Hall is seriously a GEM in Toronto! Why many people don’t consider this a top attraction like the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium, Hockey Hall of Fame, I don’t know.
The hall itself is quite beautiful once you step inside and find your seat. That being said, don’t worry about wherever you pick your seat. There is no such thing as a bad seat in this house. Wherever you sit, you will always have a great view of the orchestra.
The music the Toronto Symphony Orchestra performed when I came here was so moving and performed very well. The night I was here, the two main highlights were Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Theme by Rococo (with Jean-Guihen Queyras as the cello soloist) and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2. My only complaint, however, is that the acoustics are not the best in here. Compared to other halls I’ve been to such as Koerner Hall, the sound just does not project and travel as well in here. The hall is also not as resonant. Regardless of that inconvenience, that did not take away from the overall uplifting mood the concert gave me once I left the hall. Although I do not live in Toronto, I left feeling like it would be worth coming to another TSO concert when in the area.
Looking forward to being back!
翻译:罗伊·汤姆森大厅 (Roy Thomson Hall) 确实是多伦多的一颗宝石!我不知道为什么很多人不认为这里是像加拿大国家电视塔、里普利水族馆、冰球名人堂那样的顶级景点。
一旦你走进去找到座位,大厅本身就非常漂亮。话虽这么说,不用担心你在哪里选座位。这所房子里没有一个不好的座位。无论您坐在哪里,您都可以欣赏到管弦乐队的美景。
我来的时候多伦多交响乐团演奏的音乐非常感人,演奏得也很好。我在这里的那天晚上,两个主要亮点是柴可夫斯基的洛可可主题变奏曲(由让-吉恩·凯拉斯担任大提琴独奏者)和拉威尔的《达芙妮与克洛伊组曲第 2 号》。然而,我唯一的抱怨是音响效果很差。不是这里最好的。与我去过的其他大厅(例如科纳大厅)相比,这里的声音传播和传播效果不佳。大厅也没有那么共鸣。尽管存在这种不便,但这并没有影响我离开大厅后音乐会给我带来的整体振奋情绪。虽然我不住在多伦多,但我离开时觉得在该地区值得再去观看另一场 TSO 音乐会。
期待回来!
