Michele Thompson is beaming in her beautiful green dress after a triumphant performance as Kitri in "Don Quixote." Ballet Austin used an expansive set to celebrate their first performance in the Long Center and Michele did a wonderful job in this leading role. (She'll do it again Sunday and trade the Dulcinea role with Ashley Lynn tomorrow night.)

How was the Long Center? I havent been yet...
ReplyDeleteWe love the Long Center. My recommendation, however, is not to get seats on rows B-D in the Dell. The theater doesn't start to rake until about row E. Unless you are tall you will have heads in your line of vision. (If you are tall, of course, you can be blocking someone else's view!) The sound is incredible. The City Terrace and the Kodosky Donor lounge are incredible. Good for Austin. The people of Austin made this happen and should be proud.
ReplyDeleteWe have been to the Long Center for the Grand Opening party and concerts, and now opera and ballet performances. I think that it works beautifully both from a visual and listening perspective.
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like a wedding celebration! There's another important wedding in Texas this weekend, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteSo I hear, I wasn't invited!
