Truth: classical concerts are not for everybody. It may come across as a stuffy affair. The sophisticated audience dressed up in fancy clothes. The music transporting you away to the land of zzzzzs. (not unlike attending an opera)
2Cellos certainly cuts through that stereotype. The duo may be wielding cellos, but buttoned down and sedate they’re not.
Not only are Luka Sulić and Stjepan Hauser totally easy on the eyes and crazy talented, but they really “bring the show”, getting audiences cheering in wild abandon to their music, their banter and their charms.
Not only can they get people up of their seats and clapping along, but they’re so appreciative and humble of all the attention. I’ve been waiting so long to see these guys – ever since their rendition of Smooth Criminal in 2012 – and they didn’t disappoint.
I was seated up in the balcony, but the Moore Theatre is such an intimate venue, there really wasn’t a bad seat in the house. Plus it has great acoustics, really setting off the string instrument, not to mention the banging of the drums.
Here’s the Celloverse setlist:
Bonus! 2Cellos invited those interested to stay on for a meet and greet after the concert. Let me tell you, the lineup in the lobby was crazy. It wound all the way back upstairs. I may have been more tempted to wait in line, if Sean was not meeting me after the concert.
2Cellos also said a couple of times during the gig that they’d be back and that they’d see us again next year. Please let this be true. experiencing their live show once is not enough.
