I do have to say that I was very disappointed by their performance in Jewels. Parts of it looked very much under-rehearsed. For example, the lines in the corps were not straight, or they dancers were not together. The night before I didn't get that much sleep because I was spending the night at a friends house (she took us for her birthday). Needless to say the next day we were very tired. Well, we went and saw Jewels and I almost fell a sleep a few times. Not because it was really boring it's just that they didn't keep me awake and excite me with a wonderful program. It was truly disapointing.
However, I saw Giselle as well just one week a go and they did impress me. It was a very good program and I think it's an altogether better ballet, because there is a story to follow, unlike Jewels. I was just wondering, have you ever been surprised like that? I was very surprised to see their unsatisfactory performance in Jewels. Have you ever been really disappointed like that?? I was very much because I was going there expecting to see a great ballet. Then, it was like SFB made a comeback with Giselle, and that surprised me as well because I wasn't expecting it to be great after I saw Jewels. Ok, that's all, please tell me what you think.
