1st experience at Explanade with PLAY! A Video Game Symphony

Loonz brought me to the Esplanade for a concert last evening. The Singapore Festival Orchestra conducted by Arnie Roth (USA/Singapore) Asian Premiere, presented "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony. It's a wonderful experience. While they were playing the symphony, the screen showed the games animation, e.g. Super Mario, Blue Dragon, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgedog, Kingdom Hearts, World of Warcraft, Lost Odyssey... etc and the concert ended with a final bonus "Shinobe", one of the very old games.
It's the first time I went to the Esplanade for a concert. When I first entered the concert hall, it's awesome. Here's a picture of the concert hall taken before the programme started with my mobile. (quite blur). The orchestra was practising then, sound without the conducter was "NOISE".
While i was enjoying the music and the visual, it struck my mind it would be magnificent if we could have 3 dimensional effect visual (like to omni theatre at Science Centre) together with live symphony orchestra. That will be Woo La la!
