Opening jitters had to have been there. It had, after all, been more than a year since the UNLV Performing Arts Center had hosted a live audience performance. On April 15, the PAC carefully reopened its doors to the public for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the facility to go dark. The audience, of course, was small and masked; the ushers, socially distanced. But once the curtain raised on the UNLV Percussion Ensemble, Las Vegans once again could immerse themselves in live music. Here's what the evening looked like.
