I recently attended the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's performance of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" with my 4 year old daughter. I was hoping it would be a good introduction to the orchestra and it was wonderful. We had box seats (Mezzanine, last box, house right, front row) so she could see and it was a great choice. She was already familiar with the movie so was very excited to see it "on the big screen." We also enjoyed discussing all the different instruments she could see on stage before the performance. The theater is beautiful and she enjoyed exploring it before the performance. The show was at 7 PM but the conductor didn't come on stage until about 7:13 PM. If I had known, I might have waited a little before making our way to our seats as she started to get antsy waiting for it to start. (We were in our seats at 6:45). I'm used to performances starting 5 mins late at The Kennedy Center in DC. We were also very lucky finding street parking. I look forward to returning often!
