Now that I'm living in Santiagoagain, I'm enjoying again the beauty of the cultural life here. This is one of the things I was missing the most while I lived in Curicó, where there are really few cultural activities and the quality of them is not really the best.
Jazz:Mauri, Moisés and I attended one of the days of the the Semana Jazzin Las Condes, where Cristián Cuturrufoplayed some classics. As a little surprise to the audience, Alvaro Henriquezjoined and sang a tune.
Also attended two of the three days of the Festival de Jazz Providencia '08. I'm not really happy with the level of the guest artists, but at least Ravi Coltranewas pretty cool. Not that he is as virtuous as his father, but at least he plays well, and the musicians that played with him, specially the pianist, where really talented. Unfortunately, I missed the presentation by Dave Hollandthe last day, but I heard very good comments, and I have no doubts it must have been pretty good.
Theatre:I saw two Chilean plays during the Santiago a MilFestival: Fin del Eclipse, a nice play about theater inside theater, and H.P. (Hans Pozo), a play about one of the most thrilling murders of the last times in Chile.
Music:Last week, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Chile performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony in D minor, Op. 125, "coral". We got tickets for the last row of the most apart section of the Teatro de la Universidad de Chile, but nevertheless, we enjoyed the symphony a lot. I had never attended a performance of the 9thand I can say that it's really an experience.
And the best of all is that ticket prices here are very cheap and even some of them completely free! All the tickets I bought costed less than 5 €, which is a really good price for the quality of the events. It's so nice to be here!
