The Royal Ballet!!!!

Thursday, 19 November 2009

Stephanie and I fell in love with this picture when we saw it at a Tube station. So we decided we had to see this beautiful man leap.

We finally ordered tickets and got a great deal - 10 pounds!! Our seats looked pretty decent too! And it was perfect since he's not in everything, but we found him in The Sleeping Beauty - more perfect because I wanted to see something classic.

We had class all day with Deacon Duncan going around to various religious places, blah blah blah, came home and got ready. We looked adorable, by the way!

The Royal Opera House is really beautiful!
"Hey, there's the band!" Name that quote!

Our seats did turn out to be really great. We were off to the side, but had a great balcony to lean over and could see almost everything except the nearest corner and bits of the very back. Luckily not much went on there.

I loved the Violet Fairy. The Princess was pretty good, too. She and another amazing guy had one "oops" each but everyone was incredible and so expressive!! I especially loved the dressed-up couples at the party at the end: the blue bird couple, an amazing group of 3, a Red Riding Hood and wolf, and an adorable cat pair--the boy always trying to look up the girl's tootoo! It was soooo cute!

And Sergei Polunin...he was BRILLIANT!!!!!

We had such a great time! The costumes were beautiful, the music was awesome, and everyone put in 110%!! We were beaming!
