Kery~
I'm so happy to hear that you have so many fun thingsto do right now in Austrailia. I can't imagine "Swan Lake" in the gay version with both sthe prince and the swan gay? . And both dying in the end. You must of been crying through it.That is such a sad thought. I know the story. it's very sad,
I'm just happy to know that your happy. That's all that really matters. I truely hope that you are living a "life" that's good for you. The hind site was for everyone to learn at the end of BBM. How many times have you heard... "if I had twenty twenty vision" I would have done it different? This is the ten and ten that equals twenty. Right now! Everyone should know that.
Yes I have relatives somewhere near you. But they would'nt be Ameriican, they would be English or Irish. See my parents are Irish but like myself there is a bunch of us that were born in England. I will have to find out now for sure since now I know you.
Just want to say "hey" and have a great weekend friend!

Hey Geri,
The Matthew Bourne ballet company is London-based. They are presently on tour in Australia for 3 months. They have an extensive repertoire, but their most famous ballet is the gay
Swan Lake: I was lucky to get very expensive, sought-after, opening night seats last Wednesday. I say "lucky" because I
won them in a competition! I was so
thrilled!The DVD of the Matthew Bourne production is available. It's released through Warner Music Vision and NVC Arts in Australia - not sure about in the USA. If you love the original as much as I do, the gay version is a definite
must see! I've seen the original performed by the Bolshoi Ballet, the Leningrad Kirov Ballet, the Novosibirsk Ballet and the Australian Ballet. The Matthew Bourne interpretation is the best, in my humble opinion. I sat for 2 hours in a darkened room yesterday and watched the DVD, in floods of tears throughout! Tchaikovsky's beautiful music does it to me every time. Double that impact with a theme about unrequited gay love, that ends in abject tragedy (sound familiar?), and you can imagine why I was in such a weepy mess. Can't wait to see it again!!!
If your ancestry is Anglo/Irish, you would be right at home, here in Australia, Geri! Lots of Irish and English people live here. My own ancestry is English.
Wishing you a
fabo weekend, Geri! I always look forward to reading your posts.
Your friend in Oz,
Kerry
