me & rozeanna/my pretty new skirt i wore to the ballet!
this evening,
i had the pleasure of going to the ballet with dancer friend rozeanna.
moulin rouge, the ballet, presented by royal winnipeg ballet,
had its world premiere here in winnipeg this month.
the ballet has a different plot than the film,
but bien sûr mes amis,
it was still a tragic love story.
while some critics didn't love it
{read the winnipeg free press' review here}
i thoroughly enjoyed it.
here's why:
1."la vie en rose" by edith piaf was the opening number. j'adore cette chanson!!
2. since i'm taking an adult beginner ballet class {and finding it très très difficile!},
i was blown away by the dancing.
i was completely mesmerized by their feet!
3. the costumes were gorgeous.
4. the can-can number. so many colours & so much action!
5. the absolutely stunning pas de deux
between love interests matthew & nathalie...
lovely costumes, beautiful music, the eiffel tour in the background...
one of the prettiest dances i've ever seen.
6. it was terribly romantique!
i could keep on gushing, but i need to get back to my novel for my french lit class.
à plus tard! bon soir!

I'm jealous! Sounds and looks fantastic.

That sounded like an amazing time you had! By the way, thats a real pretty skirt!
ReplyDeletehahaha omg i take so long looking for pictures too! i took sooooooo long doing that post! and i seriously think i've got a problem, like i'm so perfectionist i think i have OCD :| like i did this online quiz for OCD and if you get more than 11, then you've got a high possibility of having it. i got 17 and i was like :O seriously want to get myself checked out sometime :|
ReplyDeleteanyway, on a brighter note about nicknames, people don't call me 'j', i just thought it was unique to have one letter as a blog name (haha), however i think it's a good nickname..
i get called 'jan jan' and 'jan jan the cheerleading man' (hahahaha) but my most common nickname is jambam!
but i really don't like the name 'jan', someone once asked me if i wanted to be an accountant, because jan sounds like an accontant, and it really does! it also sounds like an old receptionist.
p.s. i have this keyring and is says JANICE and the left and right sides, and JANIS on the top and bottom, haha! but sometimes i wish my name was spelt JANIS because a lot of people call me JANEECE when they don't know me, but with JANIS, you just can't go wrong!
