Giselle - Parramatta Riverside Theatres - 29/09/06

Take a breath and watch as the waters of the Parramatta River glisten under the sounds of the chatter from the cafes and restaurants not so far away. Gibberish, gobble and the usual that concerns people who walk and talk with an air of burning up the night.

Stalls for all, the seats of the Riverside Theatre playing host to bodies that fill the section close to the stage. Man at the back with the decks looks like the cover for the orchestra. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just the testy touchy look back given in icy shards. Combatants of sound!

Database error: Please bake some more brownies.

Such a beautiful production. Shame about all the patrons making off with all of the cough drops. Pity the coughers.

The Sleeping Beauty - Australian Ballet Company - Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House - 05/12/05

Of shadowy machinations and motives, witnesses to the triumph of love in the darkness of jealously and spite, The Sleeping Beauty is an almost gothic affair. Complete, undeniably, with romantic trimmings and an at times whimsical and soothing orchestral soundtrack.

Mystic and magically enthralling, the opening act is an otherwise sensual load of fear, of doubt and cunning. A stark contrast with the more humorous and fanciful elements between. The second act bathes the stage, the dancers and every inch of the Opera Theatre in a glow of sunshine and pure happiness.

White - The Australian Ballet - Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House - 16.05.05

From a whispering orchestra pit, the sweet sounds rise up into the night and toy with the company of the patrons as they brace themselves in the darkness of the Opera Theatre of the Sydney Opera House. There is a casting sheet with each seat and a synopsis of each act. Never mind that. Everything and anything is interpretive.

The first story of the evening is La Bayadère. Very cautious steps from a line of ballerinas fall as snow flakes from a mountain top. Their patter along is careful, though stilted. Emerging from the back curtain, the seemingly endless array of ballerinas flows down one after another into infinity.
