Swan Lake

Yesterday was the performance of Swan Lake by the Georgia State Ballet Company at MBS.

I have never been to a full ballet performance before and it was an interesting experience. The dancers are clearly talented and there was some very good dancing with pretty sets. But I am not sure how much more ballet I can watch. After a while, the steps all look the same to me. I guess it will be interesting for someone with some ballet training or knowledge.

Fortuntely the performance was just 2 hours. The music is by Tchaikovsky but it was piped music for this performance.

And they changed the ending to make it more palatable for the audience. The original ending is a tragic one but who wants to spend 2 hours watching a sad and tragic performance.

Bumped into U-Zyn and his family on the way out. I do hope their kids enjoyed the ballet!
