Ballet - Swan Lake

Having never been to the ballet before I've always had these great ideas of what watching the ballet must be like. So elegant, so beautiful. For some reason I really like dancers. I love how they are so fit, yet look like they fly effortlessly through the air.

Today Britt and I attended our first ever ballet and we went straight to the top with Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. The only knowledge of the story I had was bit and pieces from watching Swan Lake the cartoon movie with my cousins when I was younger.

It was just exquisite. The dancers moved so effortlessly, they were glorious in flight and had the most beautiful costumes and dance sequences. Accompanied solely by a well crafted live orchestra the performance carried on for almost 3 hours with 3 interval breaks throughout.

My description cannot encompass the beautiful dancing we saw, but I can highly, highly recommend it!
