I'm the Music Director of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra in Arizona. Tonight we finished our annual run of Nutcracker performances. The Apple Activity App also shows I burned 935 Total Calories during the 2-hour performance. (And this was the second performance of the day!)
EDIT: Since this seems to be a popular post, and I'm getting some questions about what a conductor's life is like, I'll add that I did an AMA all about conducting almost exactly a year ago. (For some reason, I guess I like to post to Reddit in early December!) Sorry the AMA is now archived, so you can't ask any new questions there, but PM me if you think I should do a new one. I've got some free time this week before I do a series of Holiday shows December 13/14 with the Grand Junction Symphony.
You can see the ramping up before act two starts.Did you have to jog to the bathroom a few minutes into the break between one and two? Cool visualization of the passion and how much work it is to do this.
I felt like I could see the scenes happening in my mind's eye - I loved this. I haven't been to the live ballet in years but they were some of my best childhood memories. Thank you for letting me remember and relive them.
