Tutus, tiaras and chandeliers... sounds like a dream!



Well mother nature gave us one more snow storm just to remind us who's boss, but now it's spring for real and there is so much to be excited about:  the end of frostbite, the re-introduction of color into the environment, a general feeling of optimism that permeates the tough hides of Bostonians, and the spring concert lineup at Boston Ballet
The Boston Ballet spring season began last weekend with Elo Experience, and over the next 7 weeks they will be present 4 different concerts featuring a variety of classic and contemporary choreography.  This weekend is the last chance to see Elo Experience, a collection of works by resident choreographer Jorma Elo.  The rest of the lineup includes A Midsummer Night's Dream, Bella Figura, and Balachine/Robbins. 
As part of my recent vow to get out and be proactive about finding new/interesting/enlightening activities to fill my free time with I've decided to attend each of these four productions, starting tonight!  Plus I love the Opera House with it's opulent marble lobby, exquisite mouldings and dazzling chandeliers. 
And if you, like me, are feeling a little under dressed for such lavish surroundings just stop by Skylight and we can whip you up a custom designed diamond tiara (or maybe a slightly more subtle pair of earrings) in time for the next show!
