I went to the ballet with Lindsay last night. We went to see the Queensland Ballet's production of the Sleeping Beauty. Je l'aime!
Sleeping Beauty is probably the most whimsical of all the ballets I have seen. The company danced to the Queensland Orchestra, which played Tchaikovsky's music beautifully. My favourite song is the one that the Prince and the Lilac Fairy dance to. There is just something very dreamy about the music...
My favourite dance scene was the pas d'action in Act 2 where the Prince has to defeat Carabosse. The male dancers in the company danced as the vines that covered the castle, which I thought was very interesting choreography and an interesting dance!
I've now seen The Nutcracker, Giselle, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. I wonder what ballet is next!
