C stayed with us since Christmas, she left yesterdat, was good having somebody here, somebody who is not busy (a music teacher, but students have holiday). D also has a holiday.
On Saturday we went to the ballet! In Birmingham Symphony Hall, there were St Petersburg's Ballet. Nutcracker, AMAZING! Tchaikovsky is one of my favourite composers, Nutcracker and First Piano Concerto, what can be better!!!
I was thinking, what are my favourite ballet msic and Coppelia is probably one of the tops. AND it will be in Birmingham in June! AND I realised that before the tickets have sold out.
Cultural awareness fact: some people are not familiar with ballet and might ask "Why are there so many people on the stage and why are they all dancing".
Cultural awareness fact: Have to tell people the story before or force them to read it before going to see ballet or opera
Me: "Did you read about the story before, at least on Wikipedia?"
X: "No, I did not want to spoil the experience"
Ballet night continued in pub, sitting outside. And then stargazing with our housemates and E's sister. She knows where everything is!
