Addy, was of course DEAD CENTER in the upper row of the chorale at Carnegie Hall. The audience couldn't take their eyes off her, especially given that all the other members of the chorus were garbed in black, which our Addy had accessorized with a shocking pink scarf, much to the annoyance of diva Deborah Voight, who apprently kept turning around to make fish-faces at the "damn alto in the center of the upper row."
And then, just at the climax of one of the most EXQUISITE pieces of choral music Beethoven--or anyone!--ever wrote, the damn alto in the center of the upper row had the entire soprano and alto sections whip out shocking pink scarves and perform a series of hand gestures that shocked and mystified the entire Carnegie Hall audience--with the exception of one lone teenage boy in the family circle who cried out, "Omigod, omigod, omigod! Those girls are doing IDINA HANDS!"
The evening was soul-stirring, ending with Piper-Heidseck and white chocolate souffles.
