古典音乐

Todd: You said you like classical music very much. Then who is your favorite opera star?

May: There are three of them, the Three Tenors.

Todd: Oh, you mean Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Have you been to their live shows?

May: Yeah, it's really a unique experience. It's a solo concert by Pavarotti. He put on the performance in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Todd: I've heard of that one. It was also his swan song.

May: Besides, speaking of classical music, we should never forget about the New Year's Concert.

Todd: Of course not. People all over the world watch it on TV, or listen to it on the radio.

May: Sure. It's undoubtedly one of the biggest classical music events. Have you ever been to the live show?

Todd: Yes, I went to the New Year's Concert in 2005.

May: Wow, you are so lucky. I saw that one on TV. But it must be so different to be there in the concert hall.

Todd: That's for sure. You know, it's really amazing to be in the best concert hall, listening to the performance by the best orchestra. I had the greatest time ever.

May: Who was the conductor at that event?

Todd: Lorin Maazel. He did an amazing job. Moreover, he just celebrated his 75th birthday.

May: So cool. I wish I can go to the live New Year's Concert someday in the future.

Todd: The right opportunity for you would come along soon. You know, music is transnational.

May: I believe in that. Well, the performance is about to begin. Let's be quiet.
