Stuttgart Ballet, Swan Lake

Stuttgart Ballet, Swan Lake, HK Arts Festival 2008
16th Feb 2008, 1930, HKCC

believe it or not, i don't even know the story of this classic repertoire in ballet before this nite!and believe it or not, the last time i stepped into the grand theatre of HKCC (ages ago), i was on stage playing the role of the little boy in Nutcracker. XDwell, just 24 hrs ago i was hearing new york phil, poor hong kong phil being 踩場 had no choice but to hide benneath the ballet stage to accompany the dancers above...^^ the difference between the 2 orch is apparent, lets face the fact.back to the dance, dancers are great, elegant, as graceful as a swan. i particularly liked the stage effect in the last scene when the prince was drowned. the 32 turns are a remarkable feat...the prince can literally fly when he jumps (and according to julie he's ok lang jai)..btw...it was actually quite 抵 to watch arts fest program...not only we got student half price tickets...we got to sneak to hear some of new york phil's another concert during the intermission of the ballet....we got free juices and wine during the interval.....and ultimately eacb concert and ballet ticket remnant can be used to redeem a free starbucks drink! wht a bargain hahaha
