La Bella Durmiente

I finally made it to the ballet. Teatro Municipal greeted Kristy and I with horrible seats. We bought gallery seats and got there late...leaving absolutely nothing. However, the building is an impressive structure, similar to Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, although slightly smaller.





Sleeping Beauty was a great ballet. (We eventually stole some pricier seats and had a great view until true owners showed up at intermission...then played musical chairs again.) Other than the Nutcracker, I don´t think I´d ever seen a true ballet. The costumes were spectacular - only outdone by the dancing itself. I was in awe of the physical specimens up there on stage. They can do insane things with their bodies.



Near the end of the ballet, just about every fairy tale under the sun was brought out for a grand ball of sorts. Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, etc. It was odd. Enjoyable, but odd.

And on a different note - Kristy, Jacob and Carly almost exploded the other night when we had a drink together!
