You probably already have this, but this came out towards the end of the Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne. The MSO hadn't performed since March, like pretty much all of our performers. I also hadn't been into the city since March. Seeing the images of Melbourne, and hearing Paul Kelly's love letter to the city (which always makes me teary) had me sobbing. I used to live in Southbank and had run around "The Tan" (the path around the Royal Botanic Gardens) many, many times over the years.
