RLPO flooding

Things are back - mostly - to normal at the Philharmonic Hall after its watery scare last weekend.
You may recall a drain on the roof became blocked and the torrential rain caused a waterfall that cascaded down the passageway to the corporate bar and into the hall's balcony and circle - taking out the electrics in the process.
It also soaked new carpets that had been laid only a couple of weeks before, much to the horror of hall managers - and apparently the carpet layers who found themselves back there much sooner than they imagined.
It also meant the RLPO had to rehearse to the sounds of the air con going full pelt to try and dry things out, although Petrenko joked to me that it improved the acoustics! It just meant you couldn't hear the music.
But it obviously didn't cause too many problems for the orchestra who put on another quality performance on Thursday night.
As someone with their own leaky roof, I can empathise! I suspect we're both praying for a dry winter.....
