Thank you for the information, and I agree...

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds”, by Orison Swett Marden. If it was Macmillan's choreography, could you watch it for $35.00? Would you be willing to pay more for a live orchestra? Did you make a donation for their continuous growth? Yet what matters is that you could have found out more resemblances if only you knew more. What a pity! I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and congratulate them again for their efforts and putting Baltimore back on the map. And yes, I made a donation. Cheers!

The performance was spectacular, congratulations to all the dancers. I also enjoyed last year’s gala at Lyric Opera House. Yet the first attitude recorded in history came from the little statue of the Greek god “Hermes” or Mercury as its Roman counterpart. We still don’t know the name of the artist who molded the statue. While the influence of Kasyan Goleizovsky over George Balanchine is very widely accepted, Sir Kenneth Macmillan could not have choreographed an attitude renversée unless Rudolf Nureyev could execute it. What about the beginning of Swan Lake male variation? Is that also Macmillan’s? Art is born from nature; we merely mimic what we see and is already alive. Knowledge alone is not enough, we must understand it. The moment is precious, desecrating it is easy and it should be a crime. I think we should simply stick to “I liked it, or not” as criticizing is a heavy burden and requires divine qualities. Cheers!
