My post about it last January gives links to reviews and the BSO performance detail page, which could be good reading before or during the show. As I mentioned, I wasn't there for the earlier performance, and frankly I don't remember anything about it from whatever I colud hear broadcast. OTOH the Carnival Overture is pretty good. So you might as well listen in and see how you like it all.
