“We are the Champions” in Rabat

なんちゃってクイーン・コンサート』でカラオケ大会

The other day, we enjoyed our first “live concert experience” in Morocco! It was at the National Theater in Rabat, a beautiful venue that opened in 1962 with a 2600 seat capacity. 

先日、モロッコで初めて<コンサート>に行くことができました。場所は、ラバトにある国立劇場、1962年にオープンした2600人収容可能の美しいシアターです。

The concert was… A Queen Tribute! 何のコンサートかと言いますと、、、クイーン·トリビュート

My husband and I are eight years apart in age, and we grew up in different environments & different countries. So, when it comes to our “favorite bands”, it kinda creates a gap. However, I’ve always loved Queen since the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, and my husband was definitely in the era of Queen when he was young. So, we decided to indulge ourselves in some tribute music for Queen (performed by Italians!). 

旦那さんと私は歳で言うと8歳の差がありまして、プラス、育った環境/国が違うので<好きなバンド>というところで若干のギャップがあります(笑)。が、クイーンに関しては、映画ボヘミアン·ラプソディーのおかげで私もだいぶ好き!という訳で、モロッコお初のコンサート会場へワクワク~。<なんちゃってクイーン>さん、イタリアから来てるとか、、、?

This gorgeous theater has nice, comfy seats, with “king-worthy” boxes. Kind of reminds me of “The Gilded Age” show 🙂 The lobby had a gallery of set models from previous shows, as well as a theater gift shop. 

美しい劇場内は、さすが王様もいらっしゃることができるようなボックスシートもありました(クイーンの夜はいらっしゃらなかった気がします)。なんだかギルデッド・エイジの一幕のようです。ロビーには以前使われたセットの模型のギャラリーや、劇場売店などもあり。

The concert started right on time! Amazing voice by a Freddie Mercury “lookalike”! Other members also seemed to be trying hard to look like the real members – though, very heavy on wigs. 

時間通りにはじまったコンサート!きゃあああ~フレディ·マーキュリーのそっくりさん!他のメンバーも、一生懸命本物に似せているようです(かつら率高め)。

Ahh, my favorite, Mr. Brian May! His brilliant guitar skills made it so worth attending the concert. Btw, a few years ago, I did my Brian May impersonation. Good time… 

そして、”なんちゃって”ブライアン·メイさんの華麗なるギター技術。ブライアンさんの<モノマネ>をした時を思い出しました。

It was a whole two-hour karaoke in the audience! Everyone in the venue sang along, and danced. It was so much fun! Singing “We are the Champions” with everyone (and Mr. Freddie Mercury came so close to us~) in the theater, was a priceless experience. 

結局のところ、2時間にわたる<カラオケ大会>。みんなで歌って踊って、フレディーさんは席まできてくれたり、、、楽しかったですぅ~。

Live concerts are truly the best, to feel the energy and to feel be part of a community. I would love to attend more concerts in the future. Actually, opera would be great, too. By the way, I wonder when this new Grand Theater will be open for more live performances? Inshallah. 

やっぱり、生のライブっていいなぁ。そしてそして、いつかオペラも観てみたいなぁ。こちらの新しいグランド·シアターでの公演、いつからかしら?

Excitement can truly make us stay young and inspired, can’t it? ワクワク、はいくつになっても大切ですね!

    What fun! I just went to a tribute concert for The Last Waltz at the Neptune Theater and had a fun time. They showcased many singers from Seattle area and it was a benefit for North Helpline!
