Cristian--thank you for that report. Is the Snowflakes you saw at NYCB very much like the one you saw at MCB? That was the highlight of the performance

You're totally right papeetepatrick!..the snow scene was beautiful...the costumes of the snowflakes vary a little bit from the miamian ones...Over here they have a string of little snow balls-like alonside the dancers arms attached to the bodice, which create, from the distance, a very effective ilusion...
See ya!.. tiphat.gif

Cristian, I'd also be interested in your comparison of the Waltz of the Flowers by the two companies. MCB's this year had an energy I've rarely seen -- not just Dew Drop, which one expects to have speed, accuracy, and strength, but especially the corps. I've snoozed through many a limp and dozey Waltz of the Flowers, but not NYCB's on a good night or MCB's this season. (Or -- off topic.gif -- Mark Morris's.)
