A Night at the San Jose Ballet
I just returned from an amazing night at the ballet. The opening was magnificent and truly like a Renoir painting come to life. Les Sylphides was my favorite performance of the evening, as I love Chopin. Nocturne in F major played as the curtain rose and all the dancers posed motionless behind a blurred, gossamer screen to give it a dream-like, diaphanous look. As that lifted, the backdrop was of a moonlit park with lush green trees. It was so breathtakingly beautiful -- I really regret not bringing my camera.
"Strange Fruit", a song by Billy Holiday and also the name of the second performance was danced to by the extremely talented, choreographer/dancer Oscar Hawkins. We were blown away by how astounding it was. If ever given the chance to see this artist perform, I would do so in a heartbeat.
I think I will try to see "The Little Mermaid" ballet next month in May.
