I like to get photos of concert halls and places I visit and sometimes will try and get a picture during final bows. obviously I don't take pictures during the performance but I like to get shots of the hall and the instruments as a keepsake.
So this thread is for pictures you've taken yourself, not ones you find on the internet.
here's a starter..

Yesterday May 3, 2019, at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, I heard Berlioz 'Grande Messe des Morts' with Antonio Pappano conducting the Concertgebouw orchestra, two Choirs and Javier Camarena, tenor. You can see the copper sections on the balcony left and high up the stairs. there were 4 timpanists next to each other with a street of timpanis in front of them (not to be seen on the pic) and more. Quite a piece and at times too much sound for the space. I think Pappano didn't go listen in the hall, as Bernstein did when rehearsing Mahler here in the eighties. The Mexican tenor quite easily stood out between all these forces with a beautiful solo. All together it was a spectacular concert.

Here you see the composer Birtwistle thanking the orchestra for the performance

A spectacular concert, highlight of the season. Great programming, as there were only top notch pieces. Debussy was played in a modernist style, Jurowski afterwards explained about the layers of Jeux and about the absence of impressionism in Debussy's works. Very refreshing view.
Birtwistle wrote a masterpiece for piano and orchestra, which was played in style
Messiaen for small orchestra and piano again (no sweat, Aimard just gives you two staggering performances in one evening!) and this concert closed with a mindblowing performance of Ravel's La Valse. Seldom you see such an adventurous unforgiving program and even more impressive, each piece was conducted with a combination of intellect and passion. After such an difficult program, the audience was raving, which is also extraordinary.

I hope that Jurowski becomes the new Chief in Amsterdam, a great conductor!
