----------------------The Entry----------------------------------------
A severe case of chair de poule can only be attributed to grandioso crescendos and decrescendos. The legato slurs of leitmotifs associated with each character's presence on stage. Perhaps the most musically delightful part of the orchestra's performance was the violins played in scordatura. The maestro's passion shook every last hair on his head. The music was flawlessly epicurian!
The dancing on the other hand, not as amazing as one would have hoped but Juliet’s attempt to hold onto Romeo on the morning after they consummate their marriage was an incredible display of human emotion. The way she held onto him and flicked her feet could only be described as elegant stomping.
Would I go to the ballet again? I’d say I much preferred the opera.
