A Sage move — at last

[摘要] Last February we Novocastrians were honoured by a visit from our Deputy Editor, who informed me that the Sage music centre, on the Gateshead bank of the Tyne, was about to open for business. He was going to the first concert and would we like to join him? This was news to me, but I assumed that he must be better informed than I (after all, it is a Deputy Editor's job to be better informed), and booked tickets for the concert. The Northern Sinfonia Orchestra and Chorus were doing Handel's ‘Alexander's Feast’, a fine oratorio, but perhaps an obscure choice for the first performance in a brand new concert hall. I was also a bit puzzled by the lack of advance publicity for the great event. Surely by now there should be saturation coverage on Look North, with special supplements in the Evening Chronicle and The Journal? There also seemed, still, to be rather a lot of cranes and workmen around for a building that was supposed to be open in a couple of weeks.
