Planet Earth in all its glory



With the week of illness finally just about behind us, Nick and I celebrated the start of the weekend by going on a really rather geekie little date night.
            After meeting for a quick snack on a sunny rooftop near the theatre we then made our way into Esplanade to see Planet Earth in Concert.
            On a large screen at the back of the stage, clips and video footage from David Attenborough’s Planet Earth were being projected, whilst a live orchestra provided the musical accompaniment to some truly incredible scenes from nature.  
            In addition to the main show, the conductor told little stories and provided more insight into the different pieces of music and the footage that was coming up. It wasn’t necessarily slick or carried out huge amounts of style, but it was great fun, and the perfect way to ease ourselves into the weekend.
