Stunning! Beautiful! Athletic! The scenery, the costumes, the music, and of course, the dancers were all amazing. The first and third acts were especially wonderful, and I feel very lucky to have been able to see this historic show all these years later. Bravo to the Boston Ballet for doing such an amazing job with these beautiful works.
