Alright, I'm still catching up from last week. This was Thursday night's entertainment, a trip to see Swan Lake.
It was performed by the Moscow City Ballet, and we bought our tickets a month ago. The third balcony on the side seats we had cost $40, so we expected it to be good. I was especially looking forward to it, because Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" was the first cd I ever bought. (That really tells you something about my childhood!) I think it was about $5.99 with a purchase from the supermarket Dominion near our house. Well, since it was the only cd I owned for awhile, I am very familiar with the music.
However, we were generally disappointed. It lacked passion or grandeur or something. It was very 'pretty.' We had just watched the movie "The Company" a few nights earlier, and that impression of the Chicago Joffery Ballet Company may have been an unfair comparison to the Russians.
Well, at least now I've seen Swan Lake. Whoptedo.
