Summa Summarum 2011, vol.1

This year (calendar, not season) I've been lucky enough to see a total of 5 works, ballet that is. 2 of them during the same night, one of them twice - during the same day! :D I want to write about them separately, but since I haven't done it yet, I have bit of a suspicion about it... For now I'll sum them up and later maybe share my thoughts more.

The first one was Romeo & Juliet, Cranko's coreography, on 30th of April. Stars of the show were Tiina Myllymäki and Jani Talo.

The second/third was the night with 2 works, The Blood Wedding / Scheherazade, in September. I'm embarrassed to say, but I've forgotten the details! Have to check them later :)

The fourth was Cinderella, new coreography (by Terence Kohler) with new music (by Lera Auerbach). I was surprised to like it as much as I did :)

The fifth was of course my birthday, the day of 2 x Nutcracker! :D First Clara/Prince-couple were Salla and Jaakko Eerola, second were Petia Ilieva and Nicholas Ziegler (what an amazing prince he was, might I add...).

At the moment I'm ill, not having the energy to do much. Luckily there are works to see online, too :)
