Muscly Men In Tights

We went to see the Leningrad State Ballet over the New Year break. It was our first time to watch ballet, and it was pretty good.

It was a special holiday show. and they did a kind of Tchaikovsky's Greatest Hits - the best scenes from the Nutcracker Suite, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. Megumi liked Swan Lake the best - I preferred the Nutcracker, but it was all impressive.

LOTS of people were sleeping all around us - the warmth and the comfy seats must have done it, rather than the quality of the entertainment.

we too went for a bit of hi-culcha in 2004. we saw the new york opera perform wagners' flying dutchman in ikebukuro. i hated it but again lots of people snoozed peacefully throughout.
