To my surprise, Duo was my favorite performance of the night as well. (I might add that I was sitting behind Jacques D'Amboise, who seemed to echo the same sentiment!) Agon appeared technically correct to my untrained eyes, but it didn't wow me like it has in past performances. My first viewing of Symphony in Three was thrilling--especially the corps work; Sterling Hyltin's treatment of the ballet came off as very learned and meticulous.

Congratulations to Alec Knight who has been promoted from apprentice to the Corps de Ballet!

For anyone interested she posted a video of a recent performance:

Unfortunately, it seems that her weight is still an issue for her. But she said that she has lost a significant amount of weight since this performance and is confident she will be in better shape by her Kennedy Center performance.
