Todd: You said you like classical music very much. Then who is your favorite opera star?
May: There are three of them, the Three Tenors.
Todd: Oh, you mean Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Have you been to their live shows?
May: Yeah, it's really a unique experience. It's a solo concert by Pavarotti. He put on the performance in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Todd: I've heard of that one. It was also his swan song.
May: Besides, speaking of classical music, we should never forget about the New Year's Concert.
Todd: Of course not. People all over the world watch it on TV, or listen to it on the radio.
May: Sure. It's undoubtedly one of the biggest classical music events. Have you ever been to the live show?
Todd: Yes, I went to the New Year's Concert in 2005.
May: Wow, you are so lucky. I saw that one on TV. But it must be so different to be there in the concert hall.
Todd: That's for sure. You know, it's really amazing to be in the best concert hall, listening to the performance by the best orchestra. I had the greatest time ever.
May: Who was the conductor at that event?
Todd: Lorin Maazel. He did an amazing job. Moreover, he just celebrated his 75th birthday.
May: So cool. I wish I can go to the live New Year's Concert someday in the future.
Todd: The right opportunity for you wouldcome along soon. You know, music is transnational.
May: I believe in that. Well, the performance is about to begin. Let's be quiet.
