Dance… its not just for girls
November 11th, 2008After another hectic week at Classical Partners, we took a group to see Mark Morris’ production of Romeo and Juliet at The Barbican. It was fantastic and with a happy ending although I was not sure if the star crossed lovers’ love for each other lived on in the heavens or if they really did zoom back to Verona to live happily ever after and the two warring families made up.
The music was Prokofiev’s original score which was originally rejected and rewritten to the now famous score. Yes it was more repetative but personally I do not find that a bad thing when the repeated parts are so beautiful and allow Mark Morris’ choreography to take flight. It has to be said that the stand out dance performance came from Amber Darragh as Mercuitio, both Romeo and Juliet were weak by comparison but perhaps that is what Mr Morris intended for the young lovers. All in all though it was a fabulous evening. I left uplifted.
But what is it about men that so few of them want to go to ballet? Maybe they find the beautiful scantilly clad women a bit threatening? I can get men to go to concerts and the opera but it is always a struggle to get them to the ballet. This time the men that did attend had a real treat those that didn’t missed out.

Good day! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for another informative site. Where else could I get that type of information written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I’ve been on the look out for such information.
The artwork of everyday life, and mine might be primarily a nation everyday living – village isn’t existence, but a tornado whirling molecules – the culture is to associate a collective of sympathetic buddies in our neighbourhood, and it is a detail worth writing that if perhaps ever I feel tired of the destination, a light talk with Laetitia Dale refreshes it over a period or alternatively 2 on the Country.
