A review and an interesting slide show caught my eye this morning in the Times.

Wilfred Romoli danced his farewell in Phlegmatic, which I had the opportunity to dance a month ago. (note the beauties with him in the first photo)
Also, my dear friend, Isabelle Ciaravola, in the lead of Raymonda. A beauty herself!

As of lately, New York is having the spring days its famous for. Total Euphoria.
This weekend I participated in a lecture at the Guggenheim titled ‘Preserving the Classics’, which acted as a preview to the upcoming Met season. Being that my apartment is across the Central Park from the museum, I decided to walk there, basking in the day. Here is a step by step visual of my “walk to work”.
Near the West Side of the Park, around 72nd st. and Strawberry Fields.
The famed Fountain of Bethesda. You can see the apartment buildings popping up on outskirts of the park.
Approaching the East Side, around 77th St.. This is the Hans Christian Andersen statue that kids adore playing on!
The Conservatory Water, where people sail their motorized boats, hence ‘Stuart Little’. On top of the building in the middle lives the famed Pale Male and Lola.
Alice in Wonderland
As I was approaching the Met Museum, I realized I was walking by the arrivals of the Costume Institute Gala. Which is praised as the best party in New York. Hosted by Anna Wintour and Vouge, every actress and designer attends this gala. Read more about it HERE
The chaos that is a red carpet
And finally at the Guggenheim, under going renovations which makes it looks like the Globe Theatre in London.

PLEASE excuse the blurry photos, although some come across as interesting. It might be time to invest in a better camera. My birthday IS coming up!

Yet another city, amidst the blur of travels.
This time the always enjoyable Chicago, Illinois. Part metropolis, part mid-western hospitality.
Does anyone know what movie this was featured in? One of my all time favorites. Think of a movie entirely filmed in Chicago…
From my hotel room window, the Sears Tower, third tallest building in the world
Does the architecture look familiar? Reminding me of a certain concert hall in LA.
Artist Anish Kapoor’s permanent installation in the Millennium Park.
Marquee for the Opera House
And lastly, at work. Attending the final dress rehearsal of Sleeping Beauty. You can see the invited audience members leaving the theater as the dancers get notes.
