OMG !! This takes me back to the very 1st performance, which was shown in Manchester, U.K . I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
It was shown in Manchester first to test the waters, the rest is history. I soooooo have to get to see it again. The music, the tragedy, simply everything. Yes I am a ballet fanatic. I would not just mention Nijinsky, but also Nuryev who could hold a pose with such smoldering intensity, you felt as if you were drawn into his world, and may at any time spontaneoulsy combust.
So how to get to NYC, this is going to take some ingenuity. !!

I had tickets to the first performance. There we were, great seats, sold-out house. We sat there for 45 minutes after the curtain should have risen. No show.
Finally, someone came out to inform us that because of some "unsafe scenery", the show would be cancelled. Bummer!

I hope you got your money back.
I've never seen it live, but I have the original production on DVD.

Guess what? - I've just bought tickets for Swan Lake for my youngest child, my middle child and me! :D
Obviously not for the Mathtew Bournes production in NYC, LOL.
But for a show in a city near me: Swan Lake presented by the Russian State Ballett. I'm sooo looking forward to it :).
The tickets were pretty expensive. Luckily husband and oldest child weren't keen on it.
The tickets will be a Christmas present for the kids (and for myself). Now I have the hard job of keeping my trap shut about it and not spoil the Christmas surprise :-X.
