Night of Stars!

K and I went to see the Boston Ballet's season premiere last night, and it really exceeded all expectations.  The performance was a mixed bill that showed for one night only and included both classical and more contemporary dance pieces.  For the most part, the dancing was excellent.  I was disappointed only by the male dancers in two of the traditional classical pieces: Sleeping Beauty and Paquita.  But the rest was wonderful, and K really enjoyed it as well.  I think the variety of short pieces was more interesting for him that one long classical ballet :)  I was really disappointed by the turnout, though; a large part of the balcony was empty, even though they had been selling half-price tickets and also student rush tickets ($20).  I wish more people had come out to support the company!
