I know that this is a bit late, but I was able to see a performance of Beauty, and it was wonderful! It really showed the depth of talent within the company. And I think that the dancers should be very proud, because obviously there was a lot of emotional turmoil. Bravo!! And I can't help but wonder if anyone else was as amazed as I was with Mikhail Ilyin performing Blue Bird; it was truly breathtaking. How sad that he will not be around next year-- he would have made a fabulous Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Oh well, just another decision that makes no sense...
