This is a beautiful post, Hoosier Hawk! Thank you for posting this. Swan Lake has always been one of my favorites.
I went to the ballet last weekend for the first time, and was lucky enough to see Swan Lake. I am hooked.
Thank you for the beautiful post.
Swan Lake, the Ballet, and the Music, are just beautiful.
This is the first ballet I saw. I must have been around four years old.
Tchaikovsky visited the U.S. in 1891 and had this to say...
“I am ten times better known here than in Russia. Of all the people I have met, Americans are the most generous and open hearted.”
“I went for a stroll down Broadway. An extraordinary street! Houses of one and two stories alternate with nine-storied buildings. The houses downtown are simply colossal. I cannot understand how anyone can live on the 13th floor. The view was quite splendid, but I felt quite giddy when I looked down on Broadway.”
