点评:What a BIG disappointment. We had attended an event like this at a different place a few years ago so had that experience as a comparison. This one just did not make the grade and only got 2 stars as there were some very good dancers and musicians but the overall experience was subpar at best. The issues were:
- The food was very bad. I ordered the fish as my main course and could not eat it as it was extremely overcooked, dry and hard (parts could not be cut with a table knife).
- We paid extra for the “Executive” tickets with the expectation we would have seats with good views. That was not the case. We were seated on the side in a cramped box with a couple of boxes ahead of us. From that vantage we could not see all of the musicians and almost none of the projections at the back of the stage. The cheaper seats on the floor appeared to have much better lines of sight.
- We expected more dancing but the dancing was broken with singing and performances by the orchestra. Those were good, but the music they offered is tango dance music and there was no benefit to having them perform on their own.
- While it was good to see a range of styles of tango, some was not pleasant to view as it was overly sexual in nature and seemed to celebrate sexual violence. There is enough good tango that this was not necessary (and it greatly detracted from our experience).
- We paid extra for transportation and while we were told to be ready at 7pm our pickup didn’t happen until about 7:25 which was a long wait in our hotel lobby. Better planning of the pick-up times was needed.
Had there been better food, more dancing, and more appropriate styles of dance this could have been a good evening. As it was, it most certainly wasn’t.
翻译:真是太令人失望了。几年前,我们在不同的地方参加过类似的活动,所以有这次经历作为比较。这个没有达到标准,只得到了 2 颗星,因为有一些非常好的舞者和音乐家,但整体体验充其量只是低于标准。问题是:
- 食物很糟糕。我点了鱼作为我的主菜,但不能吃它,因为它煮得太熟了,又干又硬(部分无法用餐刀切开)。
- 我们额外支付了“行政”票的费用,希望能有视野良好的座位。事实并非如此。我们坐在一个狭窄的包厢里,前面有几个包厢。从那个有利位置,我们看不到所有的音乐家,也几乎看不到舞台后面的任何投影。地板上较便宜的座位似乎有更好的视线。
- 我们期待更多的舞蹈,但舞蹈被管弦乐队的歌唱和表演打断了。这些都很好,但是他们提供的音乐是探戈舞曲,让他们自己表演没有任何好处。
- 虽然很高兴看到各种风格的探戈,但有些风格并不令人愉快,因为它本质上过于性感,而且似乎在庆祝性暴力。有足够好的探戈,这是没有必要的(而且它极大地损害了我们的体验)。
- 我们支付了额外的交通费用,虽然我们被告知要在晚上 7 点准备好,但我们直到 7:25 左右才接车,这在我们的酒店大堂等待了很长时间。需要更好地规划接送时间。
如果有更好的食物、更多的舞蹈和更合适的舞蹈风格,这可能会是一个美好的夜晚。事实上,事实肯定不是。
