Take her to CPO. Buy good seats. I like the ones on the second level, over the percussion section, just behind the violin section (you can see their sheet music) and in amazing view of the keys of the piano if the instrument is used that night. From these seats you can literally feel the orchestra swell all over your body when they crescendo (get loud) and the balance between the instruments is outstanding. Also, being so close, they seem much louder than anywhere else in the hall.

Tell her to dress nice but don't say why. Show up dressed to impress. Full three-piece suit and a pimp tie. Get some gin, and walk her into the hall while the orchestra is still warming up. Take the time to learn whats on the program and wiki up some neat conversation bits about the music, composer, or whatever. Doesn't have to be much, its okay to not be an expert, but it shows thought.

There is nothing like an orchestra. So many people performing at such a high level with world class precision. Maybe the music isn't your style or taste, but it doesn't matter when its that good.

Then after, while still dressed up, go find a dance-club or a rock-bar and get some drinks in. People will ask why you're dressed up. If she had a good time then she will be gushing about what you went to, thus talking you up to herself (without her realizing it) and you will look like a prince.
