The ballet was Don Quichotte, a spanish story first produced as a ballet in Russia. As stories go it wasn't as magical as something like Swan Lake, and a lot of the time I wasn't really sure what exactly was happening with the story but there was still a magical section with tutus and tiaras so I was happy. And the dancing was incredible none the less. I seriously have so much admiration for the dancers. The males are so strong yet graceful and the females so elegant and beautiful and the strength in their feet..! I know from having done pointe work how much it hurts so how the ballerinas do what they do so poised and perfectly amazes me. Mesmerising.
The photos are terrible but my phone doesn't cope in poor light and I was too interested in watching the dancers to worry about lots of photos.
