Today I went to the theater to watch a one-hour look on the Sleeping Beauty rehearsal!
On the theater foyer, there were exhibitions of costumes and sketches of the original costumes for the Sleeping Beauty production. Then we went inside the glorious State Theater to enjoy what's happening behind the scene.
We were greeted by a huge red curtain, with golden embellishments on it. The detail and precision of that curtain was breathtaking.
During this behind the scene, we watched mainly the ballet company's warm up session, and then had a look on the grand pas-de-deux of the Sleeping Beauty.
They were still tweaking it here and there to perfect the routine, but it was beautiful anyway! The piano was playing softly as the two dancers performed. Even though it was just a plain rehearsal with no costumes and props and set, it was heartfelt and beautiful to watch. You can almost hear the dancers whispering you the story.
It was very exciting! I never watched a live ballet class, even though I REALLY WANT TO! :p
AND what's more exciting is I'll be seeing those guys again in about two weeks, to catch them perform the Sleeping Beauty ^^ Very excited about that!! :D
It was a rare experience, and I'm very glad I got to go :)
I still have 2 weeks worth of slaving away on my assignments,
but until then, I'll try to have as much fun & hold on to the fact that it's going to be awesome.
Cheers!
