I attended, the organization was able to deal with the voucher (they had to give me their wifi code for me to call it up), and the experience went well.

It was very interesting and serenity time to be experienced.Words and applauses were not needed.It could be interesting to be expecting the whirling by ourselves.

Not good … the seats were randomly allocated. I could not see the screen displaying the description. I had to keep my head turned to see the musicians which gave me a neck ache. I wish I could choose my seats.
