#15 Australian Ballet

#15 Australian Ballet - completed 7 April
My original task was to participate in a “Chance to Dance” ballet class offered by the Australian Ballet, however when I went to book in for it I found out it doesn’t exist anymore so best alternative was to see the Australian Ballet perform - which I’d never done.

Sarah, Janine, Val and Elise joined me on this task. The ballet we choose was “Madam Butterfly” which is very well known - my mistake was not reading the story outline we were given upon entering the Opera Theatre so I was pretty lost most of the time doh!

It was a beautiful ballet from what we could see (we had restricted viewing seats) and I really enjoyed it - I think next time I’d like to see something more traditional like swan lake where the girls actually wear tutus and have more ‘ballet’ type moves. There were a couple of parts in the show where the lead male and female dancers worked together and that was pretty amazing - some of the lifts and leg extensions were quite beautiful.

All in all a great night and one I’d do again.

35 down, 5 to go.
