i have watched a few musicals (grease, chicago, beauty and the beast, les miserables) before, but never any ballets. and so i expected the theaters to be quite similar. but i was wrong. the royal opera house is so so much more grand and opulent than other theaters, some of which are rather run down.
the auditorium itself is so awe-inspiring. the dominant colour being red and the lights are golden toned. just being in the building itself makes one feel posh ;)
the ballet was obviously A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. the footwork was neat and polished. extremely powerful legs and gorgeous costumes. i especially loved juliet's costumes. the way they swirled when she twirled... *le sigh*
i'd definitely recommend ballet lovers to watch it ;)
btw, they had several ppl to play romeo and juliet for different scenes, so dont be surprised if u think juliet or romeo keeps coming out to bow when the show is over. lol.

im not sure if i mentioned it before in my blog, but a few months ago, i read haruki murakami's norwegian wood. i've heard the name of this author come up several times before and it seemed like norwegian wood was a favourite of many readers, so when i came across that book in clearance in a bookstore that was closing down, i immediately bought it.
more recently, i've been itching to start reading again, so i looked up several of haruki murakami's other books. kafka on the shore seemed interesting, so i looked it up on ebay and got it cheap.
im now slightly more than half done with kafka and i think contrary to popular preference, i like kafka better. both books are slightly dark and disturbing, but kafka and its outlandish-ness appeals to me better. norweigian wood is more emo. but thats just my humble opinion.
