after annunciation
this is the irrational season
when love blooms bright and wild.

I just posted a few pictures from our much smaller scale Nutcracker as well. Beautiful costumes! I need to get to bed and get more organized now! I have so much to do . . .
ReplyDeleteP.S. I remember those dark grey costumes: Wasn't it hard to dance in them?
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful pics of your Nutcracker! Chanda has never complained of dancing in this costume. She's always said that it is one of her favorites. I think the dancing goes with the costume and there is a lot of gliding and group turns.
DeleteI just looked back to other performances and the Yorkville Nutcracker. I must have thought of a comment I wrote in 2016, asking about the same costumes, but back then you did say that it was not so hard to dance in them. I guess I thought Chanda did not like to dance in those costumes, but I was mistaken.
