Its always interesting how long the wait for a performance seems to be, and then once you get into the zone, seems to go by so quickly.
That is how Friday nights debut of Don Quixote went for me. One act after another, and then its over.
Don Q is the type of ballet that if YOU, as a dancer, are not having fun, then the audience doesn’t join you for the ride. Well, hopefully the audience joined me for the ride because I really enjoyed myself. Act I is the most tiring. Which from the audience doesn’t seem that way, but the pricipals never stop… one thing after another, until the bitter end. By the time third act rolls around, and the grand pas de deux, you have to really muster up the energy to finish the ballet.

Friday night was great fun though. I wish I had another to test the water even more. But our tour to Korea holds another one to write home about.

Veronika was breathtaking too, as were Angel and Palmona, but duh…
