And an alto added: "It echoes back to the days after covid, when we had to distance whilst singing. The hoop skirts mean we have much larger spaces between us - good elbow room for holding our scores in folders though."
One of our tenors commented: "There may be some sightline issues with the top hats, but with a careful seating plan, all will be well."
As our next concert, Beethoven: Missa Solemnis on 13th April,will be held at the refurbished #Victorian theatre in #AlexandraPalace, we will be forgoing our usual black clothing and embracing our surroundings in full Victoriana.
