10 years later....

So I think it was something like 10 years ago when I saw for the first time Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake on Bravo on TV. It was wonderful and, for someone who is only a casual fan of ballet -- just so much more powerful than anything I'd seen before.

Well, the company is touring and coming through NYC for a month-long engagement and so I've got some cheap tickets to go see it live this time! Come join us!

Ballet fic? Do you have linkies?

Seriously, if you can see this dance, GO SEE IT. GO GO GO. YOU HAVE NO IDEA, THIS WILL BE SO COOL FOR YOU.

This Swan Lake is one of the masterworks of recent dance. I've pieced together a version on youtube of various performers and assorted orchestras, but the live version will be incredible. Go watch it. Even if you HATE ballet, this one will be worth the $20-$40 of the third balcony ticket. I guarantee it.

LOL, no worries! I actually bought the tix already!!!! I'm SO EXCITED TO GO as I remember seeing it on TV 10 years ago AND DIED OVER IT. Me, who likes dance performance a LOT, (but I rarely die over it).

The ballet fic by cobweb_diamond is Inception AU, and is 21,000 words of pure delight! (I hope I didn't mislead, however, Bourne's Swan Lake is only mentioned, there's no focus on it.)
