Ballet originated during the 15th century and only later turned into a concert dance form in France and Russia.
I love ballet. I once saw a performance of "Hallelujah" on "So You Think You Can Dance" that made me cry.
I would love to see the choreography and hear the music in a ballet production.
There are times it leaves a person so moved it is hard to speak.
As it is globally influential and has defined techniques used in many cultures, I would love to attend the ballet at least once.
I have been to the "Nutcracker" before, but not a lot of ballet performances. I would love to see more.
I would love to see "The Nutcracker" as I hear it is amazing. It surprises me that the original production was not a success although the 20-minute suite Tchaikovsky extracted was a success.
I never knew that about "The Nutcracker". How fascinating.
"The Nutcracker" premiered at the Marinsky Theatre in 1892.
