Success Stories
My life is a dance, and I always wanted to see a ballet.
30 december my girlfriend and I went to the national opera and ballet theatre in Amsterdam to see the nutcracker an the mouseking. normally I would never go by myself, but my girlfriend is such a big fan of ballet that I bought two tickets as a christmas present. I was really overwhelmed when I walked into the theatrehall because it was so enormous and everything was beautiful covered in red. I also was very suprised about how awesome the show was!! I would recommend anybody to go once in your life to a ballet. Just because you can.
Finally. I have been wanting (for years already) to see a ballet show--well it was actually more of a modern ballet.
Last March 1, Silliman hosted Rock Supremo by Ballet Philippines on its very own auditorium. After learning about the upcoming show, I went to buy tickets a month ahead and was able to get a good seat. Dancers really amaze me, especially those who do ballet. Too bad, I wasn't able to even capture at least one picture during the show. I unlearningly emptied my phone battery since I just got back from a random trip in Cebu and I really regret having not notice it earlier. Anyway, the show was really great. I may not have captured a photo through my phone but was able to get a better picture through my eyes which allowed me to fully embrace and appreciate the moment. By the way, the songs used were great, too. I liked the "Liwanag" by Kai Honasan and the ballet performance for that song above all. It almost brought me tears. Aside from that, the show was also successful in serving its purpose--educate the viewers about the life of Andres Bonifacio--one of the most admired heroes of the Filipinos. :D

When I was younger I seen my first ballet in Llandudno with my mum and my grandma. It was a really exciting time for me as I loved ballet and took my build-a-bear which was dressed in a ballet outfit. It was the Nutcracker and I seen it as a surprise late birthday present and loved it. I've always remembered seeing it and would really love to go back one day to watch another ballet show to bring back the memories.
