OH WOW. As if I hadn't already gotten obsessed with ballet enough to want to devote my life to it...last night was absolutely unbelievable. I've found my calling. I must pursue this. It is my greatest passion.
The Joffrey ballet put on such a spectacular show! The dancers were technically perfect in every way. Not one single flaw to be seen. I knew this was an important and well-established ballet company, but I guess I've never seen such excellence exhibited before. I was completely blown away. The set and costume design were both alive with color and substance, as was the choreography in it's grand scale! The configurations the dancers made were huge sometimes, and the use of five cavaliers made things very interesting!. They were an inspiration, to say the least. The snow queen was "to die for". Her arms were so expressive and beautiful, it made me want to ... just....
The music was played by a full orchestra, and the chorus in the first act was sung by a live chorus. Every piece of music was played to exact perfection to Tchaikovsky's standard. The entire show was an absolute spectacle. Every single thing about it was totally maxed out. michiganopera.org/0809/nutcracker.html
...I'll be working extremely hard.
And since I'm sure you're going to be wondering, I wore Domenico Caraceni when I left the house, and brought an atomizer of C&S No.88 with me.
