For the first time since the Holiday Sing-A-long, the Filene Center is packed, the lawn is covered in blankets and tarps, the wine is flowing, and spirits are high in anticipation of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring set to live symphony and choral performance, marking the opening show of Wolf Trap's 2008 summer season. Actually, the Wolf Trap bell (signaling patrons to take their seats) is ringing as I write these words!
This is my second summer at Wolf Trap, but the first as the official keeper of this blog, so I'm excited by the endless content that evenings at the Filene Center inevitably produce. Expect to see a lot of new features for your consumption, designed to give you a much better perspective as to what happens out at Wolf Trap on a show night.
Ok, Lord of the Rings has started and the symphony is masterfully recreating the opening musical sequence - the season is underway! I'll have some photos and a brief review up tomorrow, so check back in if you need a break from your workday to see what you missed, or to relive what you saw if you braved the ominous skies and had a ticket for the show.
Looking forward to another season under the stars with you all!
Cheers,
Graham

Brrrrr!!!!
Coldest opener ever?
Very chilly, indeed. Unusually so for May. However, it's supposed to be 85 for tomorrow's A Prairie Home Companion!
