A few years ago, the husband declared that we were not doing enough "cultured" things. I said, "Well, get tickets to something and I'll go." So, he got tickets to the Handel's Messiah. And we went. With a couple of his co-workers. Apparently, this was something they did on a regular basis.
When we got to Carnegie Hall, there was a huge crowd. I was beginning to get excited. Certainly, something with this big a crowd had to be exciting. After three hours of sitting, we said our goodbyes to our friends. Got into a cab and headed uptown. The husband turned to me and said, "Well?" I turned to him and said, "Yup. We won't be doing that again." He said, "Uh, let's stick to what we know. Like TV and movies."

It's unfortunate that Messiah is the Handel piece everybody knows. It's not at all his best work, musically or dramatically.
Though I don't know who was performing, so it could have been their fault.
