STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I know it's kind of early, but I'm trying to plan something a little different for me and FH to do. We haven't had a "date" in a while and could use it right now. Right now I am looking at two options:

1. National Symphany Orchestra:  Romantic Titans (if we did this one, we could picnic under the stars too...so romantic)

PROGRAM:
MENDELSSOHN: Music for A Midsummer Night's Dream
LISZT: Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major
MAHLER: Symphony No. 1 in D major

2. Opera Recital: Modern American (no picnic, but we've been wanting to do something like this for a while too.)
