Since returning from Prague, both pakdokter and partner have got back into the mood of listening to classiccal music. We used to be regular subscribers to the performances of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, but for the past two years or so had been distracted by the frequent travels overseas and had lost touch with the programmes at the MPO Auditorium at the KLCC.
Credit must go to the MPO Managers who kept mailing out their programmes to pakdokter's address.
In conjunction with the 'Valentine's Day' the MPO put up a programme entitled "Songs of Love" from the operas.
Pakdokter's Argentine neighbours who are regular patrons of the MPO had invited us for dinner at the Petroleum Club which now opens its door to those with tickets to the shows at the MPO. Judging from the heavy bookings for the dinner at the Petroleum Club ( located on the 42nd floor of the KLCC Tower 1), this proved to be a right move by the club to draw patronage to its establishment.
The ladies were presented with a 'stalk of rose' ( perhaps only for this occasion) and a live band played evergreen love songs during dinner. The starter of seared scallops was followed by a lobster bisque. A buffet of various dishes was offered for the main course.
It was a great opportunity to have a bird's eye view of the city from half-way up the KLCC Towers.
The MPO was conducted by Kevin Field and love songs from Madame Butterfly, La Boheme, Spartacus and several others were performed by a Japanese soprano, Hiromi Omura and a French? tenor, Marc Hervieux.
