Date night came a day early this week. Dinner at a Pakistani restaurant followed by
Giselle at the Kennedy Center, performed by the Mariinsky Ballet, AKA the Kirov Ballet. Chuk got me the ballet tickets for Christmas. I love ballet.
On our honeymoon we saw the Mariinsky Ballet in their
home theater in St. Petersburg do a bizarre version of
Swan Lake, in which the swan lived. They performed
Giselle in the traditional way though.
View of the stage from my seat during intermission.
Lest I become too cultured tonight with my international food and performing arts, I'm off to watch
Jersey Shore. What can I say? I love me some ballet
and JWOWW. I'm a complex individual.
What a wonderful Christmas present! The ballet is so wonderful, but even better at the Kennedy Center. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I've never seen ballet at the Kennedy Center. I'm hoping to see Madam Butterfly (the opera) there later this spring.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the KC, did I know you were in the same general area of the country as I am? I don't think I did!
Oh, and I'm a mix of cultures, as well. Love me some symphony and opera, but also was hooked on The Hills and Real Housewives. And spent time at a club in Miami with the Jersey Shore people. That was enough to make me not want to watch the show, though.
The Jersey Shore people upset me, but I can't stop watching. Sadly, I watch some of the Real Housewives too. I guess we all have to have our guilty pleasures.
