Le Corsaire!


Now 2/3 of the way to my "Watch 3 ballets I've never seen" goal!  I've been watching American Ballet Theatre's video of Le Corsaire incessantly for the last three years and finally finally had the chance to see it in person!  The Washington Ballet performed it at the Kennedy Center, and my little sister and I had a delightful time eating Junior Mints and gasping at the amazing jetes for a couple of hours.

p.s.- Angel Corella as the slave, Act II variation from the (greatest) pas de trois (ever)  is probably my most watched youtube video of all time. The link is here since there's no embed code available...strange.  But still a must see!
