The Philadelphia Opera Company
sure do like to sing, even while shopping. You saw them last at Reading Terminal Market singing opera. Now, along with 650 close friends and the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ, they do a little seasonal chorale. A word of explanation on the venue: Wanamaker's was the old downtown department story in Philadelphia, which features a huge organ that plays for shoppers. There is also a large sculpture of an eagle that is iconic for Philadelphians. "I'll meet you under the Eagle" was a common phrase when I was going to college down there, and explains all those people we would see sitting around at its feet. It is also why the Philadelphia Football Team bears that name.
