MPO Rehearsal Diary (Part 0)

On the 25th of October 2023, Wednesday, I went to The Petronas Philharmonic Hall for an MPO open rehearsal.

They were rehearsing for the event “Music of Hans Zimmer.”

The ticket cost me RM 52.

A snippet of my e-ticket.

I will be documenting my entire experience in diary format. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it!

First picture of the day! That day I arrived super early (about 7)! My mom sent me there. This is KLCC.
A car in the air!!!

Since I arrived there super early, I wandered into KLCC to poop and take a stroll. KLCC was actually open already, but the shops were still closed.

Dewan Filharmonik Petronas entrance from the inside of KLCC. The flying car entrance (picture above) is the entrance form outside KLCC.
Very narrow escalator. It could barely fit me… This was in the Philharmonic area (not the hall though).
Dewan Filharmonik Petronas is sandwiched between the KLCC buildings.
Here’s another picture of the glorious KLCC, this time taken from the park.
LOL, I’m not ready to reveal my face… YET!
In the middle of playing hide and seek with my furry friend. See if you can spot it!
Meow meow meow.
Cool plant.

Eventually, I got bored of exploring, so I loitered around the entrance of the Philharmonic hall. I ended up having a casual chat with the female guard on duty at that time.

Then in came a group of about 30 foreigners (mostly white people). I was like :OOO. They were granted early entry, because they were part of an organized tour.

Seeing this, the female guard also granted me access, saying “Go join your friends.” I was so confused ??? Like surely this was a misunderstanding, but I didn’t care, I just cared that I can finally go upstairs!

Go upstairs to the entrace to the hall, or you can choose to take the lift.
