What Can I Do During Intermission? |
|
|
|
It's a short rest period for the musicians and conductor-once you see how
much activity goes into a performance, you'll understand why they need a break!
Listening to music is also an intense activity (even if
considerably less physical), and a break in the middle helps the audience
concentrate better in the second half. Some concerts, though, have no
intermission because it would interrupt the flow of a long work. Check the
program before the concert so you know what's coming.
Most intermissions are fifteen to twenty minutes long, which
gives you time to socialize with your companions, get a drink or a snack in the
lobby, visit the facilities, or simply sit in your seat and read the program
notes. Do whatever puts you in a good frame of mind to hear the second half of
the concert.
