Pink carpet evening
So thanks to a friend who has an annual subscription, I am discovering a love for the ballet.
You can't take pictures inside the theater during the performance. It's better that way, you can focus on the dance. There were four pieces. The first three were a bit edgy, incorporating elements of modern dance into the choreography. The final piece was more traditional, with Stravinsky music, strictly ballet movement, and classic harlequin costumes. I think it was my favorite performance of the evening.
Last week we went to the gala, the opening of the season for the New York City Ballet. It's a huge fundraiser for the company, the glitterati of NYC society pay upwards of $1,000 to attend a cocktail reception before the performance and a benefit dinner afterwards. And those of us who sit in the theater's upper rings get to watch them party.
Welcome to Lincoln Center. The Metropolitan Opera House dominates the scene. When I see the opera house I think of that scene in Moonstruck.
The glitterati on the pink carpet enjoyed an outdoor cocktail reception.
Look who was hanging out on the theater balcony.
Apparently the New York Philharmonic has a program featuring the music from Star Wars.
The party continued in the upper lobby of the theater.

Yes, NYC, where you can find art and culture.
Even in the subway. Look at the murals on the subway walk.
We have tickets for another ballet in February. I can hardly wait.
Looks like fun. Glad it was a good show.
