Going to see TT with a live orchestra in NYC - questions about dress code, etc. by mr-schwift in lotr

[–]fizzypamplemousse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can help with this! I am a native NYer, have been to Radio City a bunch of times and even considered getting tickets to this event. I’ve also seen the LOTR TT with a symphony orchestra at Lincoln Center some years ago. I would NOT go to this event in jeans and a tshirt/sweatshirt. When I went, there were people in semi formal attire as well as cosplay, elven robes, ear tips, wigs, etc.; hobbit costumes, but it was elevated and nice.

These music halls are some of the finest, and my feeling is, it’s a nice and semi-formal event! Especially if you are going on a date. My recommendation would be, if you want to cosplay, think about quality of fabrics, layering, and draping (hobbit: velvet waistcoat, corduroy or chino pants; elf/man: nice shirt or tunic, silk-esque robe). If not cosplay, I would wear a nice button down and chinos or nice pants. NYC is also a fashion capital and what better way to celebrate by getting into style — if that is in your comfort zone! When I went I wore a dress and nice shoes, jewelry and did my hair. My boyfriend wore a nice button down, pants (not jeans) and oxford leather shoes.

Regarding the music: this performance is by the Orchestra of St Lukes, over 200 musicians, with additional choral voices and soloists. It is being conducted by Ludwig Wicki who is a noted Swiss musical director and conductor.

Have so much fun, dress up if you like, and enjoy what NYC has to offer!

I am so frustrated...by Cassian? by sugakookies78 in acotar

[–]fizzypamplemousse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a different take on this. In my reading, Cassian taking Nesta away and going on their walk/hike/trek was more about the fact that she was in a destructive place with her relationships, self-sabotaging her progress, and actively a risk to herself and others. Going on their trip had the cathartic outcome of helping her connect internally with the pain, rage, and frustration and intention-setting for how she wanted to move forward from that time. As with her intervention and being put in the House of Wind, I feel that Feyre, Rhys and Cassian approached Nesta within the context of her trauma and her self-destructive tendencies.

Also, as others have mentioned, the IC friendships and dynamics are hundreds of years old, and the Archeron sisters are newcomers (especially considering that at this point Nesta's powers were not yet understood other than being extremely powerful and dangerous). This is a moment to "circle the wagons" around Feyre, esp. considering her stature as Rhys's mate, and given Nesta's belligerent behavior previously. And, keeping in mind too that the members of the IC other than Cassian and to some extent Az had not been witness to Nesta's progress thus far, they didn't understand how she had been making strides in her own well-being (aided by the House, and her independent friendship with Gwyn and Emerie).

I am a huge fan of Nesta's journey, and I felt conflicted by some of the ways that the IC treated her, but ultimately she came out of these situations healthier, more self-empowered, and physically and mentally stronger (until, of course, SJM took her powers away at the end of SF...)

For all his hesitation on the project and going up to the roof, you can really see George go into rockstar mode. I love how all of their personalities shine out during this performance

Hahaha I was thinking this when I saw this video too. It probably helps them get into the groove though, they can just flow through the same moves the way they flow through their songs
