Visually
Stunning,
Audibly
Challenged.
I
saw
the
Russian
Ballet
Nutcracker
November
2018.
I
paid
a
pretty
penny
primarily
to
hear
this
masterwork
in
all
of
its
musical
(audio)
glory.
The
sets,
dancers,
costumes,
and
venue
were
visually
magnificent.
However,
the
sound
was
reproduced
recorded
music.
That
would
be
all
right,
but
the
sound
system
made
it
sound
like
it
was
emanating
from
a
1982
Lloyds,
or
Soundesign,
boom
box.
The
highs
were
not
crisp,
the
low
end
was
muddy,
and
the
volume
was
insufficient
to
emulate
a
live
orchestra.
Very
disappointed.
Come
on,
guys
n
gals,
spend
20
grand
or
so
and
upgrade
the
sound
system.
UPDATE:
I
saw
a
Broadway
show
in
early
2022
and
it
was
fantastic.
The
SOUND
was
fantastic.
The
show
brought
their
own
sound
system.
So,
I
guess,
if
you
are
going
to
a
show
that
uses
their
own
equip,
it
will
probably
have
delightful
full
sound,
and
it
you
are
going
to
a
show
that
uses
the
house
sound
system,
not
so
much.
