Swan Lake

Yes...I talked Stan into taking me to another ballet!

 

Tonight we went and saw the ballet classic, Swan Lake, the ballet of all ballets. The music score is by the Russian composer,  Tchaikovsky, and was first performed in Moscow in 1877.

You cannot beat the location of this Ballet. A quick walk across the street, and we are standing in the middle of Lincoln Square Plaza where the American Ballet Theater will be performing...

...at the Metropolitan Opera. It still takes my breath away each time we walk into this magnificent building!

 

Tonight our seats were located in the 'Dress Circle'. Great Seats...especially for this ballet. As you can see, we arrived early.

Taking a 'selfie' at the Met!

Walking around the lobby during Intermission, the ABT had displays set up selling books, calendars, and these interesting items to raise money. These are old toe shoes belonging to the dancers in ABT that were on sale for $20 a pair.

The finale. Unfortunately, you cannot see the 'sea' of swans that are out on the stage. The swans were magnificent! Stan enjoyed himself but said afterwards that this would be his last ballet. "I am ready for some nachos and a ballgame." That's fair!

It was a wonderful night!
