I had a great time and enjoyed the music and the costumes and the dancers.
We were not allowed to take photos during the performance, so during one of the intermissions I made a few sketches and later on decided to make a few illustrations. I have made 3 so far. Here is the first one:
Bravo! It is a wonderful production, isn't it? How can they be so graceful. It's almost inhuman! Watching ballet always makes me feel like such an uncoordinated clod. Very cute illo, though. I love Juliet's expression!
ReplyDeleteyou know, I have the same feeling. They look like elves and fairies from a fairy tale. this girl who played Juliet, she was awesome, very light, very stretched and it all seemed like a normal thing to dance on the toes. she played a real young Juliet, with dark hair (lol, all the promotional posters around the city feature a blond girl :) )
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. I've always had a soft spot for Romeo & Juliet and you've contsructed a worthy composition here. Permission to save it to my pictures folder for future enjoyment?
ReplyDeleteOMG, Jim! anytime! save them all :)
