Two of the more remarkable highlights of the Christmas show: real, traditional Christmas songs + Santa, and surround sound.
Indeed, surround sound. Terri scored for us orchestra seating and midway through the event the balcony pews are filled with choral singers. Voices surround you while the orchestra croons. Amazing.
The finale is Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from his masterpiece The Messiah. Closing my eyes for the sound to wash over me in full 360˚ is Christmas present enough.
Of course I cannot listen to the hifi for some time after an event like this.

Just take a look at this gorgeous architecture, including the horn loaded stage.
