Last night, I had the opportunity to attend the Marinsky Ballet's Swan Lake. It was such a treat to see such a premier company perform this classic. The lead role, Odette (played by Oxana Skorik), was stunning: so graceful with out-of-this-world extensions. It was an especially memorable night because Joseph and I attended it with our prima ballerina friend, Theresa, who has danced this role all over the world. She couldn't stop talking during the entire performance, but that was okay because it was fun to see her enjoy it so much. The pas de deux in this ballet is my absolute favorite; I have cried every time I have seen it. The costumes, dancing, and staging were so exquisite. My inner ballerina was stirred.
