Beauty and frivolity can only exist together in a sentence such as this :) Didn't another famous Russian, Dostoevsky say 'Beauty will save the world?' You are doing your part to help the cause. Thanks for sharing the video - wonderful! We haven't had any unusual birds around here lately, by the way.
Pure envy . Smitonius , as a big sister treat, took Youngest Daughter , then a ballet mad eleven year old , to Romeo And Juliet at Covent Garden many years ago , and I was allowed to tag along , too . A magical performance and we all still remember every moment !
Look out for my son and his girlfriend! He texted me today asking "Ballet tonight - what is happening to me?" I could see it coming, this civilisation process because of the love of a woman - it started months ago when he decided he needed some nice bedding....
Thank you! That is one of my all-time favourite pieces of music. DUM dedumde DUM dedumde DUM dedumde dum. And what gorgeous costumes! (The dancing looks rather easy in this bit...)

ReplyDeleteEnjoy; it's fabulous stuff.
But were you won over by arena ballet???
ReplyDeleteNext day: he didn't enjoy it. The words 'prancing' and 'men in tights' were included in his texted review....
ReplyDeleteThank goodness he loves books and film....
