Thank you both so much.
What have we liked? We have a subscription this year (parent discount is very helpful) and have enjoyed everything. I can honestly say there is nothing we disliked. I am amazed at the quality of dancing by the entire company.
We splurged and went to the Opening Gala since dd was one of the little Circus Polka girls. WOW! I think we will always go to that now. How wonderful to be able to see all of the principals on stage the same night!
My kids predictably enjoyed Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and La Sonnambula. But they also particularly remember Fancy Free and Rassemblement. In addition, my son really enjoyed "The one where you could see the sweat flying off the guys," by which he means In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated. It was also a very new style of music for him and he was intrigued.
My most vivid memories are from many different parts; The beautiful and extensive pointe work in Theme and Variations; The playful competition of the dancers in In the Middle; The dramatic lighting of Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven; The dramatically different style of dance and emotion in Rassemblement; The incredible intertwinings of Polyphonia. And I loved the playfulness of Waterbaby Bagatelles. I hope I haven't mixed up the names of any of those.
But watching Carla Korbes dance Odette/Odile has been the highlight of the year for me so far. When I saw others dance Odette/Odile (dd was in it), it was beautiful and the corps of swans was so enchanting. The whole package was beautiful. But when Carla Korbes danced it, my attention was riveted to her. I've never seen anything so beautiful and graceful. I now change my tickets to when she is dancing the most.
So those are the musings of a novice. From your descriptions, it sounds like I would enjoy them all. I guess it still doesn't narrow it down for me, but whichever I could get to would be pleasing.
Thanks.
