In an effort to keep everyone up to date on the season we call MET ‘09, I will be posting updates here and there on what has been happening in the theatre. 

May 18- Not to be confused with my birthday! But also our gala opening. Attended by many, the highlight had to have been the attendance of First Lady Michelle Obama. I was one of the lucky few who got to meet and have a photo op with her. IF I get my hands on a photo, I will post. Nevertheless, it was thrilling to me her (taller than me in heels!) and great birthday present. 

The show was sprinkled with highlights of the season… Le Corsaire with Dvorovenko and Corella and myself, Gomes and Vishneva in Romeo and Juliet Balcony Pas De Deux etc. 

The dinner was its usual chaos. Although I sat next to Rachel Roy and Veronica Webb, designer and model respectively. 

And on with the season… Tonight Theme and Variations, tomorrow Tchi Pas De Deux, both Balanchine jewels.
