Carmina Burana

A double bill of ballet at the Hippodrome on Friday night - The Seasons and Carmina Burana. It was fantastic. I thought the dancing was very good, although one pairing in The Seasons seemed to lack a spark. Carmina Burana was impressive - even though there is no 'story', its just a series of pieces dealing with aspects of life - and it was danced very well indeed. A magic evening to round off my 50th birthday celebrations - which have been going on all month - made even more special as I had not one, but two delightful young men to share it with me.
